Operations services offered include:

  • Floor plan development and production of AutoCAD build plans

  • Exhibitor services in advance of the fair, including preparation and processing of all exhibitor orders and plans 

  • Management of all onsite services and the build of your fair

The Art Fair Company charges a fee for operations and exhibitor services based on the scope of work to cover advance and onsite staff costs. Labor to build the fair and outside vendor and service providers is typically paid directly by the fair. This allows organizers to utilizers these services “at cost” and without markup.
