Once you have your paperwork ready and have established how to handle requests from artists, you can start inviting them. Even for the smallest shows, you want to start 3 months in advance. Sooner is better. Larger shows need more lead time. For most shows, six months before the show is a good time to start inviting artists.

There are many ways to invite artists. The most common are direct mail, e-mail, and the web.

I recommend using all three. The web can find new artists, which you want and need. The other two allow you to reach artists who have previously participated, or who you particularly want to invite.
