Description:
As emerging fine artists sometimes find it difficult to compete with more established street artists in high-traffic festivals and programs, this class will focus on how to navigate the alternative craft and fair markets and how to sell your work directly to the public without professional representation. Students will learn the logistics of setting up a booth, applying to juried fairs, and doing the research necessary to decide which events or festivals might be a good fit for their work to. Creating a customer base, interacting with potential clients, and negotiating commissioned work, as well as on-the-ground retail experience in a number of venues ranging from street markets to shopping malls, will aid students in the development of the skills set necessary to those who wish to supplement their income through the sale of the Arts and or crafts they have learned to produce at CCA.
