DISPLAYING YOUR WORK
You will want to design an eye-catching and meaningful display to help draw the public to your workspace. Tips for creating your display: Include a sign with your name or company name. Consider also having business cards available. If you share your work online, you may want to have a sign with your social media handles or website address as well. Have signs stating that it is okay for people to take photos (or not). Have some completed works on display: You may want to include larger pieces to help draw guests’ attention. You may also want to include some pieces the public can touch. Note: If there are pieces that you do not want people to touch, you can put up a “please do not touch” sign. Layer your work: Have some items placed higher on boxes so that all items are not flat on your table. Do not place items close to the edge of the table, as people will be walking past and might bump into them. Tips from artists: “If you have prints, put them on print stands so they are more visual.” —Virgil Sampson
