  The only "real" choice is an EZ-UP. Spend a little extra and go with the HD frame. Be careful NOT to get tricked into visiting the copy cat "First-Up" canopy tents.

You'll need to go with the white top to be approved for art fairs.

  Hi David,
FYI for an online forum for art shows at artshowforums dot com
And I concur with with Thomas about the EZ-Up as this is what I have as well. You can get them with walls and lockable zippered panel as well. Many of the festivals/shows I attend are multiday and I even have a secondary EZ-UP that sits right behind the Display booth for a chill/sleeping space when venue regulations allow for it.
Have fun this season,
Carlton

  Hey Carlton...how the heck are ya??
Thank you so much for the great tips!! BP folks are amazing with their willingness to share their knowledge and experience. I will definitely get on that today.Today's chore is updating my gallery with photoshopped versions of some original photos....you probably don't remember but you were quite helpful when I first got started with PSE9...thanks again, my friend...Oh BTW I've also made lots of shots just before "dark:30" to capture that cobalt blue sky..as you recommended...awesome
gracias!!!

Thank you David,
I dont see the image but Yes, the cobalt skies just as the sun sets is fantastic. I need to do a few more myself but during this time of year, this happens about 5pm and by 5:15, its dark. In the Summer, its the opposite with blue skies still available well after 10pm.
Are you doing many festivals this year ?
Cheers,
Carlton

  Woops...forgot to add image..actually if you look in gallery under the friday night lights album, editors picks there are several twi-night shots with a beautiful cobalt blue sky...not sure how many festivals I'll actually get in as I am still very much in the "start up" phase of getting the business set up, financing etc. Hopefully I'll get a couple of indor shows in late summer and a couple of outdoor shows in the fall...any tips or advice greatly appreciated
