I need to find at least two craft shows as close to MS as I can before the middle of December, I have Crohn's {nothing anyone can catch} and I have had to miss so many craft show this year and I need to get into a few GOOD shows to get some of my money back this year.

Then the date must have just changed because it says here for for some time it would be May 21 & 22
Posted by: Mitch Fisher | April 30, 2011 at 11:05 AM
Hello Mitch. I'm not sure what show you are talking about. Maybe the show you are talking about needed to be changed. We are constantly updating our calendar in an effort to be as correct as possible.

Posted by: Linda Diamond | October 14, 2011 at 02:42 PM
Hello Linda, I see you have a show that you would like added to the Art Fair Calendar. The best way to do that is to go to the website www.ArtFairCalendar.com. Click on the link on the left hand side of the opening page to advertise your show. You will find several options to choose from. It looks like you are also interested in getting more artists in to your show. Our website, www.artshowreviews.com is dedicated to Calls for Artists. This is a great site because thousands of artists come to our site looking for shows all over the country. You really should check out both of those sites. Good luck, Jacki B

I attended the Apple Butter Festival at Berkeley Springs WV in October, 2011. I ordered and paid for two signs ($300) from George Kise - W B Sign Studio of Syracuse, NY. It is now February, 2012 and I have not received any merchandise. When trying to contact him (housesignsstudio@aol.com) I got excuses and now he doesn't reply at all. Looking him up on the web he has been scamming people at shows for years. I hope you have a way of warning festivals about this guy.
Posted by: Gordon Eyer | February 22, 2012 at 02:13 PM
Hello Gordon, thanks for taking the time to alert us about this artist. What a shame. I googled his name and also found that he does not have a very good reputation with his customers. We are, of course, leaving your comment here for others to see. You should also contact the show director that held the show and make sure they know so that they don't let him into the show again. Also, I would contact your credit card company and dispute that charge. Tell them what happened and that you were patiently waiting for your piece of art work to arrive and it never did. Good luck and thanks for helping to alert others.

I was also scammed by WB sign studio at an art show in Old Saybrook CT. BEWARE OF THIS MAN. HE IS A THIEF
Posted by: Kate | November 03, 2012 at 03:06 PM
Kate, if you google WB Sign Studio you will find lots of complaints about that person. You are not alone. Make sure you register a complaint with the Art Show that he was at where you made a purchase from him. They need to know that and let them also know about all the online complaints. You might also try and contact the Police Department in the town he lives in and file a complaint. You could also take him to small claims court to try to recover your money. Good luck
