- Who are you and what type of artist/crafter are you and where do you sell primarily? Add as many keywords in your description as possible because the site is searchable.
- I'm a Native Florida Folk artist selling tiki bar signs, mermaids and more. I work as I can with found and drift wood. My work is hung on a rope though sometimes I do stick signs. I do custom and personalized signs sometimes when I'm set up to show. I like to get my work in bars, restaurants, hardware stores, baitshops -- anywhere real FUN people gather. I call my genre "Merry-time" art.
I started this network because as a Folk artist who displays on old found ladders and cast off things from strawberry fields I'm not considered for "white tent" art shows. They say I do not have a display. Additionally I think $295 is too much for a show that you don't have a relationship with. I lost my mind at the Mainsail Art Fest when I saw that boring field of white tents and every other artist was honest to God selling the SAME RED DOOR photograph. That's not art-that's Wal-mart with tent hooks.
When I set up, I'm not just an artist--I'm entertainment. Andy Warhol said the highest art was selling your work.
I agree.
