Juried shows?

Most of the juried shows are higher end products that sell for a fair amount. There is a number of people who will look at your work and decide if idt fits their show in quality, need for balance in the show, originality, etc. They are usually very costly for you as a vendor and usually buyers have to pay and admission fee. If you painted that rose, I have admired it from the first time I saw it. If you are painting like that on higher end objects, I would say you have a real good chance. At least if I was the judge.

My friends and I have done juried shows before. I actually like them becuase I find the whole event if of a higher level...and because of that they attract better buyers who are more willing to spend money becuase the items that are going to be there meet a higher standard. Usually you are asked to submit pictures of your work, and maybe tell a little bit about it. Sometimes they as to see pictures of your botth setup as well. Another plus of these shows is that as well as keeping out any imports or non-handmade items, they also monitor how much of a certain thing is at the show. Nothing worse than having 20 jewelry sellers and no one selling jam. It makes for an unbalanced show and often a bad day for the jewelry folks becuase there is too much competition.

It is a show that is juried. You need to send in slides of your work to be approved for that show. Then they will give it a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd ribbon. You pay a lot to get into these shows, and your craft must be very professional.

It means they want to know exactly what you are going to sell and what the items will look like...perhaps some of them want to see samples of your work. It is so they don't have several booths selling the same stuff and to make sure it is hand-crafted, not imported from China etc. What do you make and sell?
