Laura, All I can suggest is that you look at the shows that we carry on the East Coast and contact them individually. Each show has their own information and what they require for you to participate. We have listed some very good shows. Some of the shows have links. Look at the links and contact the shows themselves. Good Luck.

I can't tell you how important it is to put full dates on your events. "October" is not a date. Many web sites contain posts that were put up years ago. Yours may be one of these. I won't bookmark it for that reason.
Posted by: Ed Gurney | September 19, 2010 at 10:32 AM
Hello Ed, sorry for any confusion you may have about our site. We are constantly verifying dates to make sure we are up-to-date. I did go through and add 2010 at the top of that page and will add it to subsequent pages. Thanks for your comment.

Jordan 13, I am not sure what you are talking about. I would be glad to help you if you want to rephrase your comment.

i am looking for an artist that was at the mystic outdoor art festival august 14 2010 he was on a side street painted water colors looked in his 40s or 50s was paralized on one side may have been a motorcycle rider in his day he had a painting my husband and i now wish we bought from him of a motorcycle near the water any help would be great call debbie 610-469-6763
Posted by: debbie shaw | January 03, 2011 at 05:26 PM
Hello Debbie, I know how you feel when you let "one" get away that you should have bought. Have you tried to google the Mystic Outdoor Art Festival? You may be able to find an email for one of the show organizers that way. I have no idea what city or state this show is in or who runs it, but I think the way to go is to see if you can find a website for the show. Many shows now have websites. Why don't you try that? Good luck!

Hello Stainless Steel. You sent us this note on August 30, 2011. It looks like your workshop has already taken place if it was July 23, 2011. Can you supply up to date information about this event?
