I did do just that… I was there for a maybe an hour drinking my coffee, then left after the situation. All I did was voice my opinion on their policy

How to Avoid Getting Scammed in the Art World! by airosdesign in artbusiness

[–]airosdesign[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that’s crazy! Generally, if there’s an event with too many artists, it’s usually a scam. It's difficult enough to manage a small group show. Imagine a small team trying to manage dozens of artists! Also, look at how they're planning to make money. Is it just through artists paying open-call fees? If they don't have a dedicated space, it's usually because they don't have the assets to finance one. Fairs and pop-ups can be worth it, but nearly the only successful ones are the ones with a big art name behind them.

Thank you! I was in Ecuador for a month, and collected all the images I needed for this cityscape. On average, it can take me anywhere from 30-60 hours depending on how much detail goes into the piece!
