Um, thanks? Heh. Well, I am going middle-of-the-road here. Just because I haven't done an art show before doesn't mean I don't have a great eye for design - and there is no rule that says spending more money = a better presentation. I have friends who can afford $3,000 cameras and shoot in auto mode with flash (barf). I still have my low-end DSLR and it works fine 'cause I know how to work with what I have.
I think working with what I have and can afford has been my goal from day 1 with this show (coming in September). I planned to have a few common sized prints (8x10 and matted) available, and a few framed pieces and that's it. No sense in breaking the bank before I have any idea what to expect... :)
Anyway, money ain't everything and sometimes the piecing together looks far better than shiny, new, finished.

It feels like by the end I will have spent $800-900 total on everything (including entry fee, tent rental, and materials) and I am not sure I will make that money back.

Buyers can tell when someone is piecing things together from here and there and not presenting a well designed, good looking display and presentation.
