Do I have to stay for the sale?There are two ways to participate in the Show and Sell.Option A:To set up in an assigned location and display and sell your products or service (e.g.drawing portraits). The benefit of this is that you get an opportunity to network with potential clients and negotiate the terms of sales.

Option B:To display your work in the collective shop and have your products sold for you. Theadvantage in this arrangement is that you dont have to stay and sell for yourself.

N.B. In both Option A and B, monies will be handled centrally by the DCFA andexhibitors will be paid for their goods sold after the event.
