I think it makes sense to try and get started marketing portraits in places where the other items being shown are of similar value. Showing a $2,000 portrait next to a display that is showing a $50 ceramic dish may not get you very far. The only exception to that would be if the venue had huge numbers of people -- like a high-end outdoor show that had tens of thousands of visitors. Then it might be worthwhile.

I also do not recommend "networking groups". They are usually frequented by other sole proprietor small business people or folks looking for a new job. It's more important for an artist to get their work in front of people who can truly afford it and who also appreciate the arts.
