The State of Arizona is proud of a rich Native American history. It is recognized as a center of Native American art, and in fact, several museums have Native American art showcased in them. Because of this, both contemporary and modern artists have been visiting more and more; the number of people discovering an inner artistic touch are getting plentiful.
Because of this connection to a person's innate artistic skill that makes craft fairs popular in the area. The chance to share and showcase their talents with the general population has many a craftsman ecstatic; that they can earn a bit of extra income on the side is just the frosting on the cake. If you are an artist or artisan who has never been to a craft fair, then you have missed a lot.
Many among young artists have an apprehension against joining craft shows because, simply put, they do not know how to go about it. Here, I will explain how to start up your booth; what to do with it once it is set up is up to you and your own artistic creativity. And don't you worry about it; it is actually easy to start. Sometimes you just have to know what to do to begin.
The first thing you'd have to do is to go to an online index of show listings for the year. Choose the best one for you; if you're beginning, it is best to start up with the non-juried craft shows. Other than that, the other considerations are that of practicality: The relative distance of the craft shows from where you live, the price of the booth itself, and the like.
Once you've narrowed down the list of craft shows that you are willing to attend, get their contact information and then communicate with the event organizers. Sadly, many people forget the importance of communication. Then they get mad at anyone but themselves when they figure out that the deal was not how they thought it would be.
Remember, not every craft show does things the same way. So do not be surprised if one show includes a tablecloth in their booth rental and the other does not.
