Sharon, Look on this calendar listing for those regions. Find the events that you are interested in, then "google" the name of that art fair. Visit their website and you will find all the information you need. Best of luck.

Thanks for your informative post! Crafting is one of the most popular hobbies in the world, with many people expressing their creativity through a wide range of crafts. Generally, the term 'arts & crafts' refers to handmade products that have been designed individually with the intent of creating a piece of artwork or a decoration.
Posted by: Wholesale Crafts | August 25, 2010 at 03:21 AM
Yes, Wholesale Crafts, it is true, art and crafting are very popular hobbies and provide a great business for many.

Does anyone have recommendations for a GREAT fine crafts and art show over Labor Day Weekend - not Long's Park - but something else?
Thanks!
Posted by: Robin | April 12, 2011 at 07:04 PM
Hello Robin. Yes, I can recommend to you Arts, Beats, and Eats in Royal Oak, Michigan. This is a fantastic show that is one of the best in Michigan. There are others in Chicago, and Wisconsin. But, the best thing for you to do is take a look at the shows we have listed here in the Art Fair Calendar.

Hello all,
I am a local artist in Bethesda MD. There are two art festival in September 17&18 in my area:
September 17 & 18* -Baltimore, MD Inner Harbor Art Festival
September 17 & 18* Silver Spring, MD
Any recommendation which one I should participate?
Posted by: nihal | July 08, 2011 at 04:05 PM
Hello Nihal. This is a great question. Which show should you do, the Inner Harbor or the Maryland Festival of the Arts? What I think you should do is join us at www.artfairinsiders.com. At our website you can ask other artists who are familiar with these two shows what they think of them. At Art Fair Insiders you will regularly see calls for artists, lively art show related discussions, and have the chance to review your favorite art shows, plus, have a chance to write a blog. I think you need to join us at Art Fair Insiders.

How do I get detail information on your listed shows. I am interested in signing up for some of them but can find no way to click and get additional information. Al Howard 919.625.5116 AJH1935@hotmail.com
Posted by: Al Howard | January 16, 2012 at 11:22 AM
Hello Al. The only shows on our website that will take you to more information are the shows with the live links. Not all Art Show directors are willing to pay for a link so that you can be taken directly to the shows for more information. If there is a live link for a show you will see it.
A better place for you to go to find shows to do is www.callsforartists.com. Every show listed on that site is looking for artists. Plus, there is a link for you to click on right there with each show. You should be able to find a show just about anywhere you want to go.
Good luck,
Jacki B
