Tiffany Arp-Daleo Artwork

Abstract Paintings, Mixed Media, Photography

Art Show Set Up

6/10’ Art Show setup

I need to do some in person shows and move some artwork. Most show curators ask you to send photos of your booth and mine are all years old, so I set this up in my backyard to get some photos.

I tried to feature a variety of sizes, and price ranges, I have matted prints, notecards, stickers, some tile coasters, a variety of works on canvas including one large piece.

It’s not perfect but it’s a start. I really need something I can hang medium sized paintings on so they aren’t on the ground.

If you have any constructive criticism or suggestions on how to improve my setup, please, I’m all ears! 😉

      Hey bro, you could always buy her art on a tee, socks or a print. It’s the cheaper route of support. I got a few TAD works in that way 😁

    I think your display looks good, and shows a nice array of your work in a variety of mediums and sizes.

    All the pieces jump out beautifully – and the layout invites one to scan the pieces slowly, and then look again at the ones that didn’t immediately catch the eye.

    I did 25 years more or less of outdoor shows and getting a good setup was always a challenge. I had the whole tent/hanging racks/table setup since I did so many shows but that’s not always practical, I know. I don’t know how much space you will have, in my experiences it was 10 x 10 (the size of the tent). I would suggest if you can find a way to not have the paintings in front of the tables, if you’re not hanging them maybe make a sort of flip bin (I used a plastic tub) so people will feel ok moving them to take a look ( I found people shy away from sorting through art unless they see it’s ok by the display). And I like that a large painting displayed as you mention will draw them to look at your other work, I totally agree with that. I hope some of this makes sense? And I am sure your vibrant colors and energy will catch a lot of eyes. !

      So many great tips, thank you so much for your feedback, Claudia! Yes, I agree about having bins they can flip through is a great idea, and eventually I will have some way of hanging them. I do have a 10/10′ canopy which I haven’t set up in a while, I have to see if I can utilize that for hanging or attaching something to. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

    Individually, your pieces are stunning. I love them. But grouped so closely to each other, the effect is confusing and detracts from the impact of each individual piece. I did art and craft shows for 14 years, setting up dozens of shows per year in a 10×10 foot tent so I learned by experience that the display was really important. Give each piece its own space even if this means some of the pieces are not out on display, but perhaps behind the scene ready to be pulled out if someone says, “Do you have any more?” I have not one space left on my walls but would have to consider buying the yellow one…especially after seeing it in the second shot.

        🖼️🎨 that would be great! I know I can’t wait to get back to expressing myself through art again, and it’s kind of like you hold that flame for me through your own work. Can’t wait to see your show!

    Looks beautiful. Good luck. Hope you sell many paintings. Try hanging them on a shutter (reinforce it a bit). That might work for you.

      I like that idea, Gig! I used to have some peg boards that I could hang a few pieces on, but on a windy day, it was a disaster! The shutter wood would be sturdier, thanks for the idea! ☺

        You’re very welcome and I do understand that. Sam’s been building on hers for a few years now. It certainly is an investment of time, talent, and resources. Another reason why it is so important to support (living) artists! Handcraft vs. mass produced. 🙌🏻

    Nice setup Tiffany! I was thinking of getting some of my art and photography out there this year, but have put it off until 2025. I’m working through the pieces I already have and want to be sure everything is ready before I make the jump. I was also thinking of actually painting a piece of art during the display to try and attract more interest… do you think this would work? G.
