How do I start a Market Stall for my art? // ART TIME with Julia Jay
Are you looking to start a Market Stall for the first time? Well I hope this episode can be helpful in the beginnings of your Creative Journey!!
I have only been doing Market Stalls for 5 years so this episode is just based around what has worked for me so far, its always good to listen to lots of different people as you scout out information and then PLAY & EXPERIMENT with what works best for you! :)
I have also attached some extra resources below which I thought may be extra helpful especially for some visuals of stalls & information from other well established artists!! If I find any important resources as I go I will add them in these show notes!
Good Luck for your market journey & hope you find much magic, community and inspiration as you follow your own path!
Much Magic- Julia x
