At larger art festivals, attendance can reach 250,000 or more, meaning many people will have the opportunity to see your art, making it easier to sell your work! If that’s not enough to convince you, keep in mind that some artists report six-figure annual incomes from selling their art at street festivals across the US.

Before you start applying to art festivals, do some research to find out which fairs are right for you. Some art fairs are well-known and highly-regarded, while others are smaller and don’t generate as much foot traffic. When researching which art fairs to join, try to find answers to the following questions:

1. How many people attend the art fair each year?
2. Will any cash prizes be awarded, and if so, how many prizes and for what amounts?
3. What is the booth fee?
4. Does the art festival expect to collect a percentage of sales?
5. What is the location of the art fair? Also, how far will you need to drive? Will you need to stay at a hotel? What are the costs for this – and is it worth it, given the answers to the previous questions?
6. Are you allowed to sell prints and cards of your work, or just originals? (Not all art festivals allow artists to sell reproductions of their work, but if they do, it’s an excellent way to increase your earnings and spread your art further afield.)

The answers to these questions will help you decide which art festivals are worth your time and which ones you can skip.
