Art Beat 2008!
Yay! Just found out I was accepted as a vendor at Art Beat in my own neighborhood of Davis Square! This is a massive music and food and craft festival in the middle of the Square that I've attended every year we've lived in the neighborhood. Hopefully next weekend's Open Studios will give me an idea of what to expect. I'm a little clueless when it comes to how much inventory to bring, how much cash to have on hand, etc.

Bring as much inventory as you can. You don't have to have it all displayed but you never know what will be a good seller. At my shows it changes EVERY time. Bring at least a $200 float. Do you have merchant account? Taking credit cards is a good way to get impulse buyers.
