Thank you!

Tracy, this was a GREAT video. Your setup was perfect and I could really see it all come together. Thank You so much!!

[@user-pe2lw1ze8i]

Thanks so much for showing your set up. I’m just starting and figuring out a layout etc needed for shows

[@HelloDyesha]

Looks amazing!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@sharleneplescia1473]

I have been looking high and low for those photo displays you have in the center (the white one where you stack multiple photos). I am not sure how to search for those. Can you help me find some?

[@Welcome28487]

I’m new at this and can’t even fathom how one can make so many prints and have all the resources 😕 I may not be ready this year. But your video gives me hope

[@TracyLizotteStudios]

Wonderful to hear! I'm doing a free workshop tomorrow on how to sell at shows if you want to join: tracylizottestudios.ck.page/932ad23d2b and if you want to work with me directly and learn how to sell your art check out the Seller's Studio.

[@jazmineramay4292]

what do you do with your merchandise during the evening of each night during a 3 day event?

[@manix0260]

I am going to be selling/showing at my first market on Friday. Needless to say, I am studying your video for ideas :-D. It's a night time market, so my biggest worry is lights... Any recommendations in that area? They will need to be battery powered as there will not be a source for me.

[@martyward427]

Great Booth! You mentioned that you use regular curtain hooks, are those going right into the burlap material to hold the pictures? They obviously seem to hold the weight of the pictures, but is there a size or weight limit with those? Again a great-looking booth.

[@martyward427]

@@TracyLizotteStudios Thank you, Tracy! Yeah, I think the burlap was a great idea for decoration, looks great! I probably could have looked a little closer to see that you were actually being held up by the mesh panels behind it. I'll check out your website for more ideas. All the best and thanks again!

[@timbrut256]

I like your layout better than others I have seen. I am a retired fellow, painting and sculpting has always been a side hobby most of my life, but now that I am retired I am going to focus more on it. When you do a 2 or 3 day show, do you leave your art inside the tent overnight? This is something I think about. Thank you Tim

[@TracyLizotteStudios]

It depends on the show and the security. I always tell artists do what will allow you to sleep at night. If you leave your art in your booth and can't sleep because you are worried then it's not worth leaving up.

[@timbrut256]

@@TracyLizotteStudios Thank you for your reply, and I agree with you. Sometimes it's not only about security, but what if a bad storm should happen overnight. No matter how good the tent is, it's still a tent. I am excited, anxious, and scared, but I hope to start doing shows this summer.

[@mizthang5740]

Hello n thks 4 sharing. But I can't find your equipment list, url won't let me. Ps tech challenged I am lol, please help. I would love you to be my mentor as this would be my first time ever showing n selling my art. Thks so much

[@katz103]

Great booth ! Thanks for sharing. Where did you get the middle print bins from? They look really nice. Love the set up.

[@TracyLizotteStudios]

I made them 😃

[@katz103]

@@TracyLizotteStudios Nice job! They look great and it looks like they hold a lot of inventory.

[@margaretpfeiffer9473]

Tracy, thank you for sharing. Do you just hang the Burlap from the top of the frame? do you think it would hand on a normal Pop up tent? thanks

[@TracyLizotteStudios]

Hi Margaret I had to sew the burlap so that it velcro around the walls I hang my art on. You can make fabric coverings for any walls to any canopy if you are willing to make them yourself. I made these walls over 16 years ago before coverings were available to buy. If I had to do it again I would buy the fireproof display coverings made for coving the mesh walls. They are easier to set up and fire Marshall approved.

[@wendylady1660]

Did you take this down and set up each night and morning?

[@bestgrammy6394]

You get all of that out of that one car? Now, that's the video you should do, how you packed the car!

Hello dear. Can you meantime again the name of the company for this kind of booth? I couldn’t find florish company. Thank u

[@nataIieatbest]

how do you attach the frames to the burlap?

[@Afterdarkillustrations]

Hello! I know this is a 4-year-old video, but how does the booth parts are packed? Are they loose in a box or dose they come in a bag? Also if you can possibly direct me to where you got the large print displays on the middle table, I've been looking for years. I'd appreciate your insight if you're still active, thanks!

[@TracyLizotteStudios]

[@bre181000]

My only question is how are you hanging the art to the walls? I have an art show coming up and have no clue how I’m going to get my art to hang on the walls of our 10x10 canopy

[@aliciajohnson1648]

Same question! I can’t figure out how to put things on the drape?

[@bre181000]

@@aliciajohnson1648 that’s my issue as well. I don’t want to use velcro because it’ll compromise the integrity of my canvases

[@oliviaandruss7156]

I’ve been searching and searching. I wish she said what she uses. Regular fabric hooks?

[@joan-lisa-smith]

Well for starters, unlike this woman, you never, ever, attach the walls or drapes to the canopy frame. During a storm or wind the canopy acts like a giant umbrella and when it goes it will take (and destroy) evert art or craft piece you have made as well as increasing the danger to anyone it all hits. Anything your art is hung on should stand on it's own unattached from the tent.

[@prettyboyandsunnydays2kittens]

Where do you get your prints done

[@TracyLizotteStudios]

I make them myself in my studio.

[@judyemery6339]

I watched your set up video & it was no help at all. How did you hang your artwork? What did you use? You said you got your hooks at Walmart but you didn’t show them or how you hang them. How did you attach them to the burlap?

[@color2066]

The part when you said you’re from Maine - I got so excited because I’m an artist from Maine too!!!! Thanks for this video! You make craft shows seem way less intimidating. Very helpful :)

[@zimrah4837]

Hey I am doing my first show next weekend. Can you please tell me how you did your fabric over your walls? I have a 10x10 Kemya tent. I love the fabric look. Thanks

[@christianpena3277]

Thank you for the information!!

[@dianeo]

Omigosh, a lot of work for one person! Well done and beautiful set up! To avoid those burlap creases, maybe you could roll the burlap around large cardboard or plastic tubes instead of folding them. Just a thought.

[@ellysesstudioarts1295]

Hey! Can you show a video more in depth of how to hang artwork. I didn't find the blog gave enough info

[@DeathsUnion]

@@TracyLizotteStudios we engrave on wood. Instagram.com/dabbledesignsltd I love your set up and for the most part our pieces are fairly light for hanging. I'd like to know a little more about how you do yours in the video. Currently were using a grid wall but it's just very tacky in my opinion.

[@brucegraybill]

I am also in Maine. I own Sider's Woodcrafting and I am seriously considering purchasing a trimline 10x10/10x20 combo tent. On average, how long does it take to setup just the tent.

@@TracyLizotteStudios thanks for the quick response. I am planning at being at the common ground fair next year.

How does your tent weather the wind? Have you ever had any of your frames fall?
