@flabbermouse: Sometimes you make -$15 on a market AND THATS OKAY!!! (or at least thats what im telling myself…) I’m starting to try out some newer events I havent done before, and part of that process sometimes is just trial and error and finding what fits. Absolutely no shade to this organizer- they put on some FANTASTIC events, I just think this particular market iust wasnt a fit for the audience that seeks out my work. There were also quite a few other big events in the area that same weekend. Its all part of the learning experience and knowing to do some more research beforehand! Onwards and upwards from here tho! #artmarket #marketvendor #vendorevent #artsales #artistalleylife
Honestly, local art markets seem to be the most hostile to artists whose artistic style is outside of the hyper-realism, funky meemaw, or grandpappy’s junk statue spectrum.

Honestly even at the events where I make no money, I find that I've still had a fantastic time because I've ended up befriending those around me!

Real, My Last Artist Alley I made like $18 in real money and spent $7 supporting another artist but the rest of my sales were trades with the other artists there.

its hard when the items you make bring in such a low profit (stickers)…like the amount youd have to sell just to break even 😭 its agonizing

I wish I saw more like this at art fairs. I always go to ones that are near by but very rarely leave with stuff. I ended up buying $20 worth of stickers from one stall just because I was so happy 1/2

As someone who is new to the game- this comment section is so validating. This season has been especially hard for a lot of folks but we can still enjoy the community and learn with each other ❤️
