If you are interested in applying to participate in any of the above events "google" the name of the event and visit their web sites where you will find all the answers you need to becoming a participant. Be aware though, most of these events are juried and require your applying up to six months before the event takes place. So, don't hesitate, contact them before it is too late.
Best of luck in joining the community of art fair artists.

i create hand made costume accessories , my field is belly dance. but i have been tagged as a jeweler, this is not correct. i feel it is more craft than jewelry, that`s why i am having a hard time, finding a venue. any suggestions?
Posted by: rina | July 24, 2008 at 04:50 PM
Hi Rina, It sounds to me like you are making jewelry - jewelry is a craft, right? Don't focus on the purpose of the accessories, focus on what they actually are--jewelry, which is a handmade craft.
Depending on how you present yourself, funky fun belly danceware, or serious fine work, will depend on what venue works for you. In fact, it sounds to me like you can position yourself many different ways.
What do you think it will be? Your decision.
Posted by: Constance Mettler | July 25, 2008 at 10:18 AM
Please can you supply us with contact details for McIntosh show in Florida..
