Art Show Must-Haves: Why You NEED Paper Prints (Artist To-Do List #1)

Title: Art Show Must-Haves: Why You NEED Paper Prints (Artist To-Do List #1) Description: Welcome to Part 1 of my 12-part "Artist To-Do List" series! As a full-time professional artist traveling the festival circuit, I’m sharing the exact strategies, setups, and product mixes that actually sell in person. In this video, we’re diving into Rule #1: Why paper prints are a non-negotiable MUST-HAVE for art shows and festivals. While original art brings high-value appeal, paper prints are your bread and butter—giving everyday booth visitors an easy, accessible price point to buy from you on the spot. We’ll also cover how print-on-demand (POD) fits into the equation, inventory tricks, and how offering paper prints keeps your booth busy and profitable all day long. 🛍️ *RECOMMENDED ART SUPPLIES & GEAR:* Below are the exact papers, backing boards, sleeves, and printers I’ve researched, tested, and used in my own studio for years to produce high-quality prints for art shows.
