The most popular venue for artists selling their photos, prints or other art work is an art fair. Art fairs occur throughout the country, particularly during the summer months when outdoor fairs pop up in hundreds of communities. Of course, you can display your art work for sale online too. In order to display your photos for sale at an art fair, you'll have to do a little legwork and lay the foundation. Your photographs are the most important items in your display, but the proper materials to accent your work are critical. Advance preparation is needed for success.

Visit the fair. Scout the location where you'll be displaying your photos. Most established fairs use the same areas, such as streets on a college campus, to hold art fairs. If possible, attend the fair the year prior to your anticipated showing. You can talk to other artists and view display booths to get ideas.
2Go online. Visit the online site of the fair in which you want to participate. Aside from fees and other information, the guidelines provided will give you an idea of booth and space requirements, which is the first step in determining how you can display your photos. Some art fairs, like the one in Ann Arbor, Michigan, provide tent canopies with rented space, but others require you to provide your own tent (see References 1).
3Select work. Choose the photos you'll be displaying. This is a prelude to figuring out how you'll actually display the photos. Keep in mind you may want to group photos by subject matter or other categories. Knowing how large your space or booth is will help you determine the number of photos you can display and fair rules also may stipulate a number.
4Choose colors and mount photos. Mount or otherwise back your photos for display. These can be permanent mountings or temporary measures to simply provide protection for your photos when potential buyers are handling them. Consider wall coverings for your booth and color schemes for your photo matting. Coordinate the matting or mounting material with wall coverings and within photo subject groupings.
5Feature photo. Decide which photo or photos you want to prominently display at the front of or outside your booth. You'll also want to, or may be required to depending on the fair, include a display with a photo and biography or yourself that is easily accessible to viewers. Remember to provide business cards.
6Develop a theme. Use easels to display photos, especially larger photos or prints. The key is to develop a theme within your booth that both supports your work and also distinguishes categories, like black & white or color. A mix of wall displays, racks, easels, shelves and table-top photos can be appealing. Frame table-top or other photos as they might appear in a buyer's home.
7Purchase see-through bags. Use see-through plastic bags to display prints if you're in an open space without cover. You'll want to use the same type bags to package your work when someone buys photos. You want your work to be visible as patrons walk around the fair after purchasing a photo (see References 2).
