Stop guessing. Start knowing.

Art fairs cost real money. Booth fees, travel, framing, accommodation — it adds up fast. Fair Signal shows you whether a fair is likely to pay off, using real data from artists who've been there.

What does ROI actually mean for you as an artist?
ROI stands for Return on Investment. Put simply: did you earn more than you spent? If you paid £1,200 for a booth, £300 for travel, and £200 for framing — that's £1,700 out the door before you've sold a single piece. If you sold £2,500 worth of work, your ROI is +£800. If you sold £900, you lost £800. Most artists don't track this. Most fairs don't want you to. We think you should.
What you earned minus What you spent = Your ROI
