My first little artist alley at a convention!! Ahhh, this was an awesome taste of what an artist alley is like! It was quite small, as the focus was on the gaming festival and fundraising event for children. There were only about 20 artists! Here was my booth display :]
Ahhh so happy with my green and orange booth color scheme!! I’ve come a long way since when I first started, haha!
This was an awesome experience! I am used to doing more casual, craft fairs and art markets in a couple surrounding towns from me. The kind where I pop up a 10x10 canopy tent and sit outside all day, fighting off the wind and rain, and always hoping for sunny weather, haha :]
I use a slightly different setup for those events, whereas for this artist alley, I used the commonly seen grid displays to create walls to display my art prints! I have a harder time displaying my handmade clay magnets with this artist alley display, as it takes up a lot of table space. I normally hang them up on the walls, but I couldn’t do that with the display shown here in these pics.
Some Things I’d Like To Change For Future Artist Alleys:
More signage! I feel like you can never have enough signs.. haha.
Look into a better way to display my magnets at artist alleys!
New washi tape display rack of some sort.
Add a larger crate/bin or 2 off to the side to have some small/large prints in, so people can flip through and browse while others can still shop around the table.
