Nic Dempster- Art Fairs

In this episode of The Creative Kind, I sit down with Nic Dempster, a painter from Ōtepoti Dunedin, New Zealand, to discuss NZ art fairs. Nic shares his journey of entering the art fair scene, providing insights into how he chooses which fairs to attend and some of the challenges he’s faced. We discuss the different types of art fairs in New Zealand, the importance of exposure, and the logistical aspects of participating in these events. Nic also shares practical advice for artists, including the importance of having business cards, preparing spiels, handling constructive feedback, and staying energised throughout the fair. The conversation delves into the benefits of community and networking within art fairs, highlighting both the opportunities and obstacles that come with this unique marketplace.
