I'm part of the Art in Action Studio tour in Burlington, ONT. This weekend.
We have 27 artists as part of the tour at 9 studios.
Fred Oliver, Glen Lee Jones, Jim Wallace plus myself are photographers while the remaining artists cover varies disciplines.

My work is all black and white landscapes shot with 8x10.

Feel free to drop in between 10-4.

The stands are a commercially available print rack. You can get them at most art supply stores.

And how did the tour go, Rob?

I had a local "Art Show" on the weekend, my first time at the event. I made some money (not a lot), and heard from those that had previously done the show that the attendance was way down this year. Some vendors sold next to nothing.

That's my experience for the other shows I have been in. Between slow sales, and two rained out shows this summer (including rain damaged prints), it has been a tough year.
 
We had about 400 people through on the weekend. The top artist sold just over $2000. Everyone sold something. I sold one print and got some leads on other sales including workshops that I teach. Overall I was very happy with the way the weekend went.

Rob, that's great! Congratulations!

Onsite sales are, as you know, only one part of the equation. I have had followups to shows some 6-9 months later. A friend of mine has had people come back more than a year later for a print!
