About Us
Art Fairs and their artists deserve your support!
Our mission:
ArtFairCalendar.com exists to promote the work and sales of the hard-working artists and craftspeople who make their livings exhibiting at art shows. Their creativity and passion for fine craftsmanship provide art fair attendees like you with beautiful, unique items not available in chain stores and shopping malls. These creative entrepreneurs work extremely hard. Constant travel, long hours, heavy labor hauling and setting up their booths, and many expenses mean that survival as a fine artist can often be a challenge.
If you share our belief in the importance of art fairs and the value of handmade arts & crafts, please support this wonderful artistic tradition by:
- Spending some money at the next art fair you visit
- Bringing your friends to the art fair
- Subscribing to our email list and sharing it with as many friends as possible

ArtFairCalendar.com Editorial Guidelines
We would appreciate hearing from you if you have art or a fine art or craft event that should be included in our listings and emails. Please note that Artfaircalendar.com accepts event listings only from high quality, fine art shows.
We do not cover events where goods are offered for resale, or events with less than 75 fine art exhibitors. This is because our mission is to help promote the fine American tradition of art fairs which offer hand-crafted, unique, fine art pieces for sale by the professional artist community.
