Hello Colleen, Yes, the New England Craft Fair at one time may have been listed on our Art Fair Calendar. Occasionally, we have to remove shows if we can't find the current show dates. Not everybody contacts us with those dates leaving me to hunt for them. If I can't find them, I have to remove the show from our calendar. I hate to do it but art patrons are not too happy showing up for shows that have been canceled or moved to other dates. And there you have it.

New England Craft Fair at The Hampshire Dome (Hampshire Hills) in Milford, NH directs people to your site from their show page but none of their shows are listed on your schedule.
Posted by: Colleen Grebus | September 03, 2017 at 08:18 PM
You have the dates wrong for the League of NH Craftsman's Fair in the summer. It will be 8/5-13th.
Posted by: M Fitzherbert | May 14, 2017 at 06:35 PM
Hello Hawk, the Art Fair Calendar listed Fine Art & some Fine Craft shows. We don't list Pow wows or regular craft shows. So, I do not have lists for those types of shows. Check out Powwows.com. They may be able to help you in that area. Now, I have seen Native American Art work and know that it can be considered fine art. What you need to do is join us at www.ArtFairInsiders.com. This is a group made up of artists and others devoted to selling art work. To get into Fine Art Shows you will need to learn what is required of you to sell in a show. It can be complicated but this group has so much on site information you will benefit from it no matter where you sell your work. Good luck to you.

I am looking to travel from Oklahoma to the New England area during the months of September and October and part of November. I am a Native American Indian Vendor who makes all of her own merchandise. I would like to set up at Craft fairs and Pow Wows in your area during those times. Please contact me if there are shows I can do. Thank you.

Hello Katy, the dates have been corrected. Please make sure to send your show up dates in to me 6 months out so your show will have the correct dates. Thanks so much.

Hello,
My name is Katy -- the Marketing Manager at the Society of Arts and Crafts. Thank you for posting about CraftBoston Holiday. However, the information you have listed is incorrect. We had a guest who is currently at our show draw our attention to the error.

Hello Donna and thanks for the comment. Did you happen to see the red notice that was posted in July: All updated shows on the calendar will have an asterisk* after the date. That notice lets you know that if a show has the asterisk it has been updated for the current year. Our notice was in the month of July. So all the shows before it were updated and several shows after the notice were updated. I added that note hoping it would stop the confusion. Also, many shows don't send us their updates so I have to go looking for them. If I look too many times without success I just delete the show. I tend to hold off longer than I should hoping I come across the dates sooner rather than later. I hope that explains why you will see some previous years dates. However those older dates will never be before our disclaimer.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | March 19, 2016 at 07:21 PM
This Calendar actually is 2015 dates!

Good luck, Jacki Bils

I am interested in a few of your upcoming shows and would like to know if there is any availability and the process.
Thank you.

Carol, shows have to ask us to be listed on our calendar. They all need to be juried shows, too. We don't list every show that is taking place because we like to think that we carry some of the best shows taking place.
