One of my favorite shows! From the smooth processes to the art-knowledgeable clientele and friendly vendors… I can tell I will be able to build an excellent collector base here. I am looking forward to the next show already!

Your personal web page is an effective way to increase your visibility and sales. They introduce your work to new collectors year-round, provide links to your website and have proven to be a successful tool for artists to make sales both before and after shows.
Free VIP Passes
Members receive four free VIP passes for each show in which they exhibit to encourage serious customers to attend or to contemplate a big purchase and return to your booth the next day.
These free passes can be sent in advance or can be left for your customers at the box office will-call window.
