I was so happy to find your list of art fairs in Ohio. I am a jewelry artist from Texas recently relocated to Cincinnati. Do you have or can someone direct me to a list or some way of contacting the event organizers so that I can send photos in time for the summer and fall juried art shows. Thank so much for the help.
Kitsy Carnes

Kristy Carnes did you find out how to contact the various shows to get into the shows I am in the same boat!

I would like to know how to apply and be accepted for the jury of each event. Also to know of requirements per location. Some have mentioned contacting the Chamber of Commerce in each location. Any other suggestions?

Thank you for your assistance.
Karen

As webmaster and publisher here I just saw your comments. There are lots of places to find art fairs. Since you are already on this site I suggest you look over the list of events, find the ones that are of interest to you, "google" their names and visit their websites. This is a pretty select list of art fairs but far from exhaustive.

Other sources: Sunshine Artist magazine, FestivalNetworkOnline, Crafts Report, Art Fair SourceBook...

Please read the post above, Karen. Additionally, the Chamber of Commerce is a good source. Also, each state has an arts council (I believe) and many of them list art fairs in their states and some even publish a list. I know Ohio does.

Also, for a little more info on this topic you can buy my ebook listed at the top of the page. It has lots of tips for getting started and is a helpful primer.

Hi

My church is hosting a craft show in Nov. Am I able to advertise on this site?

Thanks

The "Hands On" show at the IX-Center in Cleveland, Ohio is November 14-16th not December 13 & 14 as posted here on this site.

I am hosting a craft show in Columbus in May. I would like to post a call for entries or a show listing on your site, but I cannot figure out how. Help!

www.nymcraftshow.com

There are several ways to post a call for entries. The least expensive is a listing on the call for entries page of the website: $45.

I also have a email newsletter that goes out to over 3200 artist subscribers, some of the old pros as well as the newbies in the business who are looking to get started. The price for this is: $165 for one mailing, or $190 to do it twice. Once when you open for applications and the second time when it is near your deadline.

This includes a:
newsletter
listing on website
story on the blog, ArtFairInsider.com
live link to your event on the Calendar

How does this sound to you? Best of luck with your new event!

I am in the same boat as Kristy. I was wondering how I would go about contacting the art show organizers so that I might be able to submit my art work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jeremiah,
1. look at the list of art fairs on this calendar
2. find the ones that appeal to you
3. google the name of that event
4. contact the event for application information

Please update Medina County Art League's 36th Annual Art In The Park is Sunday, July 19, 2009, not July 20th. If possible, please include our website above.

Thank you,
