Sharen,
Yup, shows are hard! Loaded my car with booth furniture today and sweated up a storm! I almost chose not to go back to living the "art show life", the internet is an option of unlimited potential and the wholesale work I've done with local businesses has been very lucrative, but I do love the people element of a fair, the excitement that surrounds a large event and the connections you make are all things I've come to miss these last two years. Despite just about every show I've ever worked with making a comeback this year, I have trimmed back a bit, will probably only do three physical art displays this year. Once upon a time I did over 30! but that was back when I didn't have a day job, in the years leading up to the virus age I was doing an average of one show every other month, now I make wholesale drops about as often.
If you wanted to post a link to some of your 2D stuff or upload some images this might not be a bad thread to show your work on
I'll be sure to post updates on the big garden show here in Oregon.
