Hello Julie, Thank you for looking over our website. While your event is probably a great event I am not able to list your event for you. We only list juried art shows. Thanks for your interest.

Never fear, Meg. We have so many Chicago and Chicago area art fairs listed that they are on their very own page, "Chicago Art Fairs." We know Chicago is the best city in the country for art fairs. Please take a look.
Posted by: Connie Mettler | September 14, 2016 at 04:11 PM
Hello Meg, We do list lots of Chicago area shows. In fact, there are so many Chicago area shows that Chicago has it's own page. Have you seen it? We know that Chicago is part of the Midwest, but there are so many shows there we thought they should have their own page.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | September 09, 2016 at 12:25 PM
Just wondering why you don't you list any art shows in Chicago and the Chicago area. There are juried shows too. Chicago is also a part of the Midwest.
Posted by: Meg Donovan | September 08, 2016 at 09:41 AM
Hello Katie, Thanks for your comment. I know not every show has been updated. On the Midwest page I have updated the shows down to the middle of June. There are many beyond that point that have been updated. As you scroll through the page when you come to the very first show that hasn't been updated you get this large red sign: This page is not complete for 2016 beyond this point. Please check back again for the correct dates! All updated shows on the calendar will have an asterisk* after the date This won't print red here but it is red on the page. You probably aren't aware that I personally have to find the bulk of the new show dates. Very few shows ever send them to us without us asking for them. To do that I personally have to send them an email asking them for their new dates. From those emails requesting the show dates maybe a quarter of the shows respond. I try to keep the calendar updated 6 months out. Many shows may not have even decided on their show dates beyond 6 months out. If they don't know their show dates and they don't post their new show dates then I can't update their show. I hold on to shows, like the Historic Shaw Art Fair, because it is a great show and I know they will choose their new show dates sometime soon. At this point that show is 7 months out. I will place an asterisk and update it just as soon as I get those dates. You can always contact the show and ask them for their dates, too, if you need the dates this far in advance. Thank you.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | March 23, 2016 at 08:55 PM
Many of your dates are incorrect. They say that they are on Saturday - Sunday, but the dates are actually during the week. Example - Shaw Art Fair in St. Louis is listed as being on October 4-5, which is a Tuesday-Wednesday.

Hello Beth, to get your juried art show listed on our calendar copy and past this link: http://www.artfaircalendar.com/art_fair/advertise-with-us.html There is information on this page telling you how to get your show listed with us.

Hello
we would also like our Arts Festival listed. It is juried and we would be glad to link your website from our webpage. Thank you, Beth Zollars

Hello Gaynelle, Thanks for letting us know about show. We don't posts shows here in the comments. However, someone from the show can request us to list the show on our Art Fair Calendar. They can go to this link and follow the directions: http://www.artfaircalendar.com/art_fair/advertise-with-us.html.
All shows need to be juried, and need to link back to us. Good luck with your show.
