Depending on what you do.....I would look into local Art Fairs and Festivals first. One day or two day affairs taking place in almost all mid sized to large towns and cities across the state. I live in Asheville. In my general area there are craft/art festivals in Hendersonville, Weaverville, Waynesville, Saluda etc. etc. Most of these are one day affairs (Hendersonville 2 days) and booth fees run 130-140 for oneday and around 2-300 for two day affairs. A step up from these are larger regional fairs like Greensboro Artisphere, 4 Bridges Art Festival in Chatanooga, The Biltmore Village Arts and Crafts Fair in Asheville. These can run 2 or 3 days and have around a $600 booth fee.
If you have high standards and want to sell to people who have money, Apply to one of the three nationally known craft guilds in this state. Southern Highland Craft Guild Based in asheville. You need to be in one of the mountainous counties for this guild. There's the Piedmont Craftsmen inc. In Winston -Salem. Their show is in November $600 booth fee. These two Guilds also have galleries that members can show in . You must apply to be a member and the jury is rigorous.
I would also suggest that you find galleries and stores that will carry your work on commission. This is hard road to go.....I find it very rewarding. ( I live in the western part of the state, there are lots of craft and art shows out this way. I know they occur all over the state.)
