Which Fairs Should I Apply to?
-
Renegade events range in size from 175 to 400 artists, with each event having its own unique venue, character, aesthetic, audience, and attendance. Your work will connect differently at each event, so please consider the below questions below when applying:
- Fair location ~ Is the Fair indoors or outdoors? Think about lighting, weather (and if it can affect your product), access to power, wifi, tent, and everything else that comes with an open-air event.
- Event size and scope ~ How many vendors and attendees are at each Fair? A smaller event will bring an attentive audience to your booth, while a larger event will bring lots of fast moving eyes. Both have their strengths – and ultimately your booth and work will speak for itself, so be prepared to put your best foot forward!
- Your audience ~ where are your current and ideal customers located, or where would you like to find new shoppers.
- Your price point ~ note that booth fees are slightly higher for the holiday events than the spring and summer events due to several factors.
- Seasonal timing ~ Spring, summer, fall, and winter draw out different types of buyers with different intentions throughout the year.
See the Booth Sizes and Pricing menu above to see more information about the size and scope of each event.
