By Juliette Cruz


If you are an artist that has original abstract paintings and you are not sure how you go about selling them at an art fair, this article should give you a pretty good idea of just how to do it. There are a lot of different things that you need to do in order to be successful at selling your art and one way to get exposure is through art fairs. A lot of cities have their own local art fairs where you can go and set up your own spot where locals and tourists might stop by and check out your artwork.

In order to sell the original abstract paintings that you have done you are going to have to put some effort into it. This means that you will need to research, plan well and put in a lot of your own spare time in order to be a success at one of these art fairs.

You are going to need to do research on when your local city will be holding an art fair and who will be handling it. You can call your City of Commerce or talk to local artists of the area who frequent these types of events. You also might be able to get information about art fairs online as well. When you do find them, make sure you get the dates and all the registration facts you might need.

It is a good idea to visit an art fair prior to registering as an artist for one. This will provide you with a wealth of information that you can use to help sell your art at one of these events. By visiting one you will be able to see how booths are set up, the kind of customers that visit and other information that might be of benefit to you.

If you decide to set up a booth at one of these fairs, make sure that you are able to accept credit cards. This can be easily done through a smart phone or a tablet. You do not want to rely on people bringing cash or checkbooks. More times than not, they are going to want to use a credit card instead. Besides the last thing you want is to hassle with a bad check from someone.

You are going to want to register for the art fair and usually you can do this by going online and registering. If they do not have a website then contact them by phone and see how you register and who you pay.

Once you are registered you are going to need to set up your booth. Make sure to bring enough pieces in different sizes from small to big pieces so that you have enough variety for all who come by to look at your specialized art work. You do not want to just offer the higher priced pieces but a variety of prices in order to attract a variety of customers.

Finally make sure that your art work is arranged in an attractive and organized fashion. You should have your original abstract paintings displayed in one area and your cash register and all business information like a guest book and your business cards in a different area.
