Lisa's Art Notes

 While I am churning through a very long list of things to get ready for the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, I've been informed of my booth number for the event. I'm not sure about where the exact numbers are but I am happy that I will be on North University. By booth number is NU910 . This means it will be a natural walk from the State Street Area Art Fair into North University street, so I believe the traffic will be fairly decent. What I'm working on in the mean time to get prepared are as many smaller works as I can knock out in the time I have and then matting those that need it. I already have my tent, walls to hang work, print/art bins, director chairs. I also have a plan for packing and what paintings I will actually take with me.  There are a number of small things that have to get done that all add up, so I'm grateful to have the time. This is suddenly getting very real for me! Anyway, to all of my Michigan peeps, come see me in July!  

It's official, I'm going to Dallas! I'll be exhibiting in The Other Art Fair Dallas at the Dallas Market Hall May 9-12, 2024. This is exciting for me since this is the first event of this type and format that I will participate in. Saatchi Art is the main presenter and they hand-pick the artists through applications. I will have more details as the time comes closer. I'm testing out the smallest booth size, but I think it is plenty to start with. The back wall is eight linear feet and side wings are four linear feet each. I am planning a variety of sizes, so as of late I have painted a few 12" x 12" works and have a few more small scale planned.  Checking out the Spring Dallas fair, I could see that everyone sold art and that it did not matter whether an artist had large or small booths. In-fact, my impression was that the largest booth size might not be necessary since the exhibitors were not galleries but rather individual artists, plus the walls were fair...
