Hello all!
I am excited to share that I have my first solo show during a local Art Walk here in Fort Worth Texas on August 21 from 6-8pm. I think I have everything ready, prints printed (waiting to be signed), Art tags to be printed this week, and inventory sheet, certificates of authenticity to be printed this week, and a catalog of all the prints including the smaller runs. I have business cards and will have a book out for newsletter signups. All prints will be for sale. I am excited even though it is only 2 hours.
Anything else I need to consider?

Here is the invitation I created.



Thank you!
 
Congratulations! Have you given thought to payment methods and have sleeves or something to put the purchased prints in. I assume they are not framed.
 
Way to go! Good luck!

I have a selection of framed prints that will be hung on the walls. The smaller prints are sleeved. I have two options for payment.
Thank you!!
 
I Googled this, looks like you should have a good crowd, several stops on the art walk. Have fun
 
Congratulations! Enjoy your show
 
Well done and as said, enjoy!

Last year, I had a month long exhibition of my paintings, along with exhibiting in a week long art trail and twice with my art club over weekends. I didn't sell anything but got some great feedback. I felt great for a good while afterwards.

I'm now been looking at online places to sell my work.

All the best!

Do you have a link showing your work?
 

That's great, best of luck and have fun!
 

Thank you
Ì am hoping for feedback at the very least. I'm contemplating getting a website to start selling as well. I have a few platforms in mind.
 
Congratulations! Have a great show!

Hi Alan, I'm still looking as 'EASY to make' website platforms are NOT quite as easy as promoted, or of course it could just be me.

I've done websites before, off platform, using a DTP package that I've used for decades, but this software has stopped producing and therefore helping, long-time users like myself. It's last release had build in shopping, but that is now not up to date... So, any feedback on these sites would be helpful. The easier to use the better.

I am also looking at online galleries that have a good online presence, for which again, I'd be grateful of any feedback from users.
