Low Cost Art Fair Display for Beginners! Attractive Tent Display for ~$300
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 03. 2023
- Join me for this tutorial on how to create a low cost art fair display for beginners. If you're anything like me, you want to spend your time creating art and not so much time figuring out where to store it or how to sell it. While arts and craft fairs are a great option, the investment in professional panels can be up to $3,000! Since I am still early in my art journey I decided to try and make an attractive art display on a budget, and it worked out very well and paid for itself at the show! I'll be doing more videos on tips for art fairs in my next couple of videos - so please subscribe to learn more!

I bought inexpensive semi-open weave curtains for a back wall using shower curtain hooks to hang it. Allows for breezes to come thru. For the side walls I used white plastic lattice cut in half (that way is not too awkward to handle and fits in the back of the van) used small bungee cords to hang the lattice. It can easily be adjusted to hang level. "S" hooks nicely hang the artwork. Added a burlap "table runner" matching the color of the back wall curtain. This was my first time displaying my artwork. I thought it looked pretty good.
Great set up ! Thanks for sharing. I love the idea of the shelf racks on the front of your booth to hang extra artwork.
Thanks for watching and so glad you found it helpful! ❤️
This was a huge help. I’ve been wondering how I needed to do this without the expensive panels you referenced. Thank you!
I appreciate all your tips. I have my 2nd year of being in the art festival this weekend and I’m so excited. I’ve done my practice drill on how I want to set up. I’m ready as I can be. Thank you again.
Sending you good vibes! ❤️
Thank you for this insight! Very helpful!
You're so welcome!
Thank you! Venturing out late sumner
Great information. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much this was really helpful for us. It's ridiculously expensive when you're first starting out trying to buy without a big budget.
So glad it was helpful!
GREAT VIDEO information
This is really great! I'm looking to start selling some photos on metal and canvas at art shows and was trying to figure out how to hang everything and not have to spend a ton of money. This was perfect, thank you!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful! I have another video too that uses some inexpensive room dividers - that route is good too for more wind protection! czcams.com/video/LsP6RkiTFeA/video.htmlsi=r7dlwlnl-Mzb7YPU
Thank you!! So helpful! :)
You're so welcome!
Thank You!!!
You're welcome!
That ocean piece behind you is so striking. It seems alive thanks for all your info. I have made some of those same mistakes.
Thank you! I loved that piece also! ❤️
Great tips! Love the idea of hanging the chains. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I’m trying the chain method for my first show, but having trouble getting the pieces hang straight and not lean forward. Any suggestions?

Subscribed!!! Beautiful presentation!! I can see why you were successful. it will only get better for you from here. Congratulations!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! ☺️
This was so helpful!! Thank you for sharing. I've been wanting to do a fair for a long time but don't have the display tools or the $ to spend a lot. So this definitely has me thinking!! I'm also in Florida. My family moved here last August, we're in Debary. Again, thanks for the video. I'm going to brainstorm now 😄
So glad this is helping to spark ideas - I didn't display my art for over 5 years because I didn't think I could do it without the super expensive set-up! Be sure to check out my other video about the inexpensive display panel idea too. Glad to have connected with another FL artist! ❤
Great video, lovely art and set up. I haven't done a show yet. I'm preparing myself for 1st one in October. I'd like to ask what you use to transport your items to your spot in the show? I know there are carts, wagons, etc.. but wondering what works the best please. My first one will be an inside event but loving all your helpful hints for an outside set up. Really appreciate the knowledge and advise from your own experience. Thank you.
Congratulations on your first show! I’m putting the link to the rolling cart I use. Truthfully, the best thing to do if the show allows us to drive up to your spot at setup and unload. It’s hard not to have to make multiple trips otherwise with art (especially larger pieces). amzn.to/3E5aN5p
Thanks so much for the tips! In your experience, do you think prints are worth investing into? Or do you make most of the sales from originals? This video was super helpful!
Yes, I think prints are worth the investment because the margin is good when they sell, but I would only order a small quantity. That’s one mistake I made! Until you know which ones will sell, just go with a small batch!
How did you transport everything there from the car. Collapsible wagon?
This particular show had certain hours when you could pull your car right up to the tent space to load or unload. Was very helpful!
Thank you for the video! May I ask where do you store your other belongings/ set up tools/ other stuff that you don't want to show to your customers?
hide them under the table?😆😆
I usually store them under the table (under the tablecloth so no one can see).
Hi…great video…thank you…quick question…where did you have your paintings framed?
I usually buy floating canvas frames in bulk and frame them myself. I also periodically make my own! I’ve got some videos on both ways here: czcams.com/play/PL5oOLrxy9MyYLVfUvaYuBs2rjasWJUHEG.html&si=xIVKFlm8DQa2MPn4
@@art4good Thank you so much for responding. Can you list where you purchase the frames in bulk?

Hi! What is the color of the outside walls of the tent? Is there two layers on each wall? Or is it just the black side tent that's attached on each wall with nothing behind it
It’s just the black side walls, nothing behind. 😊
How do you make prints of your paintings?
I have a video for this on how I do physical prints. For on demand I use Printify! czcams.com/video/PAZwmwHkJwo/video.htmlsi=aqR02z1ClkDVDE02
I would increase your tent weights to at least sixty pounds each leg. I use eighty on each of mine. I can’t tell you how many tents with forty pounds each leg I have watched take off in a high wind in seven years. The last show had one strong gust and twelve tents were destroyed along with part of their contents.
I would agree - most shows I’ve seen don’t require that much, but I’d say the more weight you can manage to get on there, the better!
What size of tent is this?
It’s a 10 x 10 tent.
