Skellig Art Fair
The next exhibition on our agenda was the Skellig Hotel Christmas Craft Fair, a promotional fair for locally produced products.
This turned out to be a very educational exhibition inthat it showed us what we needed to consider for future exhibitions.
I was a bit disappointed in the space we were allocated in the Skellig. Besides being surrounded by other photographers, (in fairness to the Skellig they did move some of these to other areas,) our table ran alongside the windows overlooking the harbour which was lovely on the day, but because we had no display units, and no wall behind us, it meant we had no place to hang our photos so we had to leave most of our photos in boxes on the table. We did enjoy the day though, meeting and talking to other people who also had stands and consider this all part of the learning process.
What we need to consider for future Exhibitions
Poster ---- Who we are.
Display units for photos, or make sure there is a wall or place to hang photos for display.
Local area photos. Viewers at fair spent more time looking at photos of local areas ie. places they themselves recognized.
Have one or two photographs in frames, which add a bit of professionalism to exhibition.
