[Jacki Bils]

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.

[Colleen Grebus]

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.

[M Fitzherbert]

You have the dates wrong for the League of NH Craftsman's Fair in the summer. It will be 8/5-13th.

[Jacki Bils]

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.

[Hawk Lessard]

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.

[Jacki Bils]

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.

[Muffy Young]

The CraftBoston show in Boston this weekend is at the Hynes, not the Cyclorama

[Katy Myers]

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.

CraftBoston Holiday
December 2-4, 2016
Hynes Convention Center***
900 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02115
Friday/Saturday 10-6* Sunday 11-5

If you could possibly correct this information and maybe send a correction email, that would be wonderful. Thanks again for helping to promote us.

[Jacki Bils]

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.

[Donna]

This Calendar actually is 2015 dates!

[Jacki Bils]

Hello Julie,

If you are interested in getting your work into an art show you must contact the show. Look up the show on line. You should see information on the show's website about how to applying to the show. Sometimes they will have an application on their website that you can download.

You should also consider joining us at Art Fair Insiders. www.artfairinsiders.com It is a website for artists. There you will find lots of information on all that is involved in selling your work at art shows and fairs. Hope to see you there.

Good luck, Jacki

[Jacki Bils]

How does one register to display artwork at one of the art shows?

[Stephanie J. Batterman]

I am a Maine fabric artist who creates Quilted Lndscape Wall Hangings. I would like information on how to enter art shows in order to display and sell my art pieces. I prefer Maine, New Hampshire, or Massachusetts locations.

[Jacki Bils]

Steve, we can't help you with an EZ Up tent here. Good luck.

[Steve Casey]

Looking for an EZ Up Eclipse II Canopy.

[Jacki Bils]

Hello Kim. We don't have anything to do with the running of any of the shows posted here. If you are interested in them you will need to contact them. See if you can find their website and you should be able to figure out how to contact them from there.

Good luck, Jacki Bils

[Kim]

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.

[Jacki Bils]

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.
Jacki Bils

[Carol]

There is so little listed here for Virginia. It there any listing for VA?
