I won't lie, researching all of this has me hyped!
Day 46 — Make The Pick
1. My Pick: Art After Dark — Lake Nona
Score: 7/10
2. Why: It fits me because it’s a recurring maker-friendly market with a manageable booth fee and gives me a realistic place to test Still Becoming merch in person.
3. My Path: Table.
4. My Break-Even: The booth fee is $65 and I keep about $12.50 profit per shirt.
$65 ÷ $12.50 = 5.2
I need to sell 6 shirts to break even.
5. Panel Find I’m Stealing:
I searched for local busking / city music opportunities after seeing that artists can find performance programs outside of traditional venues.
In Orlando, I found that street performance inside city parks during permitted events requires permission from the event permit holder. So that gives me another path to research for future performance opportunities instead of only looking at open mics.
6. One Thing To Pass On:
The City of Orlando currently has Call to Artists opportunities for public and visual art projects. It doesn’t fit what I’m pursuing right now, but it could be useful for another AMP artist who works in visual art.
