I have been doing street shows for 30 years. There are good shows and bad shows, good promoters and bad ones. The ART FAIR SOURCE BOOK ranks shows according to dollars spent and other criteria. A very, very useful tool. The cost of the book will be recouped at one good show. Yes, there are shows where I have felt the promoter is only selling me 100 square feet of real estate, but there are also shows that are extremely lucrative. The whole art world is different now than pre 2008, but I still make a living by doing some shows and a couple of galleries.
