St. James Court Art Fair in Louisville, KY isn't listed. I've been to several of the top tens listed here and they aren't even close to this one. Makes me wonder where they get their info.

Ginny Herzog

I don't think that Coconut Grove Arts Festival deserves to be on the list of the top shows any longer. The fact that they went through their entire wait list and called up rejected artists to fill the show seems to indicate that the artists are not placing this show very high on their list, either. Their fees are too high and they no longer attract the wonderful collectors. IMHO

I have to agree on St. James Art Fair. It is my
second favorite after Ann Arbor.

What about Madison's Art Festival. Much larger and more comprehensive than many of the above. The vibe is great too.

Jacki Bilsborrow

Thanks, RaycerX. We welcome your opinions on the shows that you have attended. We will take them into consideration when we are working on the Best Art Fairs list in the future.

Hello Bobbi, there is a glass show in Royal Oak, Michigan just for clay and glass. Unfortunately, it is held in June. It is the Annual Royal Oak Clay and Glass Show. Check it out for next year.

St. James Court Art Show in Louisville KY is the best by far. Over 600 juried artists in a setting of renovated Victorian Homes and streets lined with huge trees. Beautiful artwork and beautiful setting.

Jacki Bilsborrow

Yes, Denise, the St. James Art Show is a great show and that is one of the reasons we have it listed on the Art Fair Calendar.

Which rock have you people been living under, St James Court Art Fair, in the MIDDLE OF AMERICA is the one of the best; you might have someone attend and then include their review. At 700+ artist and in it's 54th year, SJC deserves more attention than just being listed on the ART FAIR CALENDAR!

Jacki Bilsborrow

Hello M Thompson, yes, the St. James Ar Fair is a fantastic art show. However, the Art Fair Calendar is all about promoting many fantastic art shows instead of just promoting one. You can catch reviews of the St. James Art Fair on our Facebook page. If you aren't a fan yet, you ought to be.

Hay - St James Court Art Fair in Louisville, Kentucky. Whoever writes this list has no idea the size of the show and the quality of artist in the show. - Get offline and come and expeirence an affair with art. RCC

Jacki Bilsborrow

Hello Robert. Thanks for your opinion. We do know a lot about the St. James Art Fair. We look at many factors before we decide which shows to add to the Best Juried Art Shows List. If we didn't think the St. James Art Fair was a good show, it wouldn't even be on our calendar.

The Utah Arts Festival deserves to be on this list. 80,000 visitors. Really great and unusual art. Bigger and better than Park City Arts Fest in every way!

Jacki Bilsborrow

Patty, thanks for your comment. We know that we can't please everyone with our "Best Juried Art Shows" list. We have tried to carefully choose the shows that made the list. Please remember that if any show is listed in our calendar it is because it is considered to be a great show. So, the shows that made the "Best Juried Art Show" list were just the best of the best.

I am looking for the Best Art fairs in Florida near the Tampa/Fort Myers area. Highest rated. HELP :) Harold S

Jacki Bilsborrow

Hello Harold. Any show that we have listed is one of the best. We have many shows listed in Florida. Take a look at the Florida page that we have. All the shows listed there are in Florida and there are no shows listed there that take place in other states. I think you will be pleased at all of the shows that we carry.

Park City Arts Festival is a mediocre show at best, horrible parking/setup and mostly crowds who come up out of the heat to drink beer. (The galleries in Park City, however, do well in the winter.) Utah Arts Festival, on the other hand, has much better crowds and sales. It was rated 14th in Art Fair Sourcebook this year.

Jacki Bilsborrow

Thanks for your comments, Alison. We do appreciate your thoughts on this show.

Jacki Bilsborrow

Hello Laurie, The website you want is our sister site, www.artfairinsiders.com. On that site you can ask other artists about shows that you are interested in. There is lots of information and friendships with other artists. See you there.

After all the great comments about St James Court I tried it this year. I have done several KY shows with great success. I had avoided St James because of the shear number of artists and the higher dollar for an outside show. I am not opposed to paying more when it is worth it but I left this year's show very disappointed. I don't think it was just me. I did not see the enthusiasm in the crowd, I did not see them walking around with lots of packages and many just hurdled by not even looking in booths. I would loves to hear from others who have down this show for many years as to their experience in 2011. Thanks
