Instructions
Get Free Art at an Art Festival
1. Predispose the promotional poster. Larger art festivals will offer a promotional poster to participants for free in the visitor or information booth. Usually these posters are pieces of art in and of themselves, so a simple frame will give you something to hang on the wall and enjoy. Collect them every year and start a display grouping.
2. Pick up business cards.Who can resist Craft festivals? The disclosed mart earth brings away all kinds of artists and Craft communities with their easels and tents ready to sell their lines. Although most of us can delight in and give thanks the skill involved with artistic endeavors, not many of us can afford to get a $500 picture or $300 metal sculpture. Don’t misery.
Take some photographs. Dont photograph artists' work, but really the festival atmosphere itself is a work of art. Anyone with a digital camera can capture the colors and textures of a crowd of people at an art show and frame it as artwork for their living room. A nice matte and frame will enhance colors captured in your picture.
4. Buy in bulk. If you are thinking of buying some hand-thrown pottery dishes or a series of photographs by one artist, use your philanthropy as a means of getting a discount or free piece with your large purchase. Most artists appreciate your business, and having their art exposed to others is often worth the price of a dinner plate or small photograph so don’t be afraid to ask for a freebie.
5. Do it yourself. If you are artistically talented or creatively crafty, you can get ideas from art festivals, even if you are unable to reproduce the work in its entirety. Whether it’s a collage technique you hadn’t thought of before, or a sewing project you can put your own spin on, getting inspired at the art festival is worth the price of the ticket and gets you home with some free ideas.
6. Barter. If you have something the artist may need, such as rare fabric or hard-to-find items that they use in their collage work, make a deal. You may not walk out with any art, but you can arrange for a trade off of materials for finished product. Many artists don’t have a lot of money for materials, so if you can make them a deal, they may bite at the chance to beef up their art supplies.
