A slow day can be costly as there are few art shows that\u00a0offer free tables or space to artists. The price to show your work can be as low as $50 (and sometimes free to members of an art association) or as high as thousands of dollars, depending on the venue and its popular success. Some shows are not picky&#8211;just\u00a0\u00a0pay your money and you&#8217;re in. Other art shows are juried events requiring artists to submit samples of their artwork for consideration. From a buyer&#8217;s or consumer&#8217;s perspective, the best art show is one in which there&#8217;s lots to look at, including musical entertainment and food. If you&#8217;re serious about purchasing art and you have money to spend you may pick up something at an art show, but often serious buyers will arrange gallery appointments to browse and discuss prices.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest art show weekends in California is Labor Day Weekend. However, there are art shows every week &#8211;this\u00a0weekend is no exception. Get out and smell the trees, sip some wine, dance to the music, and be inspired by great art! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seecalifornia.com\/festivals\/august-art.html\">Here are a few shows<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pictured (left) is Woodside&#8217;s Kings Mountain Art Fair held on Labor Day Weekend.
