Re: [artshow_photo] Just getting started

Erica,

You want enough framed work to cover three walls. A couple of large
ones helps to attract attention from the public walking by.

I'd start with one or two each of most of your work matted in browse
bins. When you find out which ones sell best (you may be surprised),
you'll need to bring a few more of those. Don't overstock, let the
public determine your inventory needs.

Use standard frame sizes, such as 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, etc.

There has been plenty of discussion from beginners, check the group's
archives.
