Hello John, Yes, we do have some incorrect dates on our calendar. I look for the new dates and if I can't find them, I can't update the show with the new dates. Media still does not have their website updated with 2017 show dates. Unless someone sends me the dates I can't update the show. Many times I even send out emails requesting the new dates and more often than not I never hear back from the show. Eventually, I have to remove the shows from our Art Fair Calendar because patrons are not happy if they travel to a show to discover it isn't taking place on that date. So, thanks for sending me those dates.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | March 07, 2017 at 11:18 PM
Some of your Dates are incorrect Lakewood is on 8/5, you have Medina on a Monday and Berea on a Monday.

Hello Kara and thank you for sending us the corrections for the Olde Worthington Art Festival. I appreciate your help in keeping our calendar as up to date as possible.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | February 03, 2017 at 08:44 PM
The information you have for the Worthington Arts Festival is incorrect. It is actually the 25th Annual Worthington Arts Festival, and it will be held on the front lawn of the McConnell Arts Center. The Village Green is the old location for the event. However, the dates and times are correct.Thanks

Hello Dan, we don't post show information here in the comment section of our calendar. Also, we only list art shows that are juried. Copy and paste this link into your browser and you can see how to list a juried art show: http://www.artfaircalendar.com/art_fair/advertise-with-us.html

Hello Nicole and thank you for alerting us to that mistake. I will get that fixed.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | November 25, 2015 at 10:02 PM
Oddmall at the John S. Knight Center is located in downtown Akron, not Hudson.

Hello Vicki, I don't have any information on the Folk Art Festival in Sharonville, OH. I don't think we ever had that show listed on our calendar either. I can't find any information about it when I google the show. You will need to contact the show to see if they will hold it again.
Good luck.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | October 29, 2014 at 11:10 PM
Are y'all not doing the Folk Art Festival in Sharonville, Ohio anymore?
Posted by: vicki neltner | October 25, 2014 at 09:25 PM
Hello Geri, that little asterisk has a meaning to me. It means I have updated that show. I also post a notice saying that our calendar is not updated beyond a certain point - usually about 6 months out. The asterisk lets me know which shows I still need to get dates for.
That little asterisk seems to catch everybody's eye.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | July 04, 2014 at 11:40 AM
Why do some of the events have an * after the dates, and some don't?
Posted by: Geri Coletta | July 04, 2014 at 10:05 AM
Hello Janice, I am sorry I had to erase most of your message. We don't use this space to post art show information. It also looked like you were posting a craft fair. We don't list craft fairs unless the are high end juried craftmen shows. You can take a look at our information and see if your show fits by copying and pasting the information into your browser at the following link:
