Hello Susan, Thanks for the heads up. I will check on that show. Covid took a toll on Art Shows. We lost a lot of them over the last 2 years.
Thanks, Jacki Bils

[Susan Kemarly]

You show that there is a Boston Mills fair for 2022, but it is not listed on ZAPP. Are you sure that they are going to go forward with their art show this year?

[Jacki Bils]

Hello Jamie, Thank you for your comment. I have already contacted Carmen.

[Jamie Sands]

Great site. We have an update to the Black Swamp Arts Festival

[Jacki Bils]

Hello Jamie, You can join www.artfairinsiders.com. It is a website for artists. On the website you can sell any art supplies that you no longer want. There is also a facebook page called The Artist's Garage Sale. Artists can sell their extra supplies as well as art work there. You can also sell your things on Ebay, too. There are also other regular garage sale pages all over the country on Facebook. There should be some for your home town as well. Just search in the Facebook website for, for example, Detroit garage sale, or Quincy garage sale, but use your town's name. You should find many garage sale pages. I hope that helps you.

[Jamie R. Anderson]

Does anyone know a good place to promote a garage "art supplies sale"? My mother passed away and has a TON of wood, patterns, canvases, paint, brushes etc. that I'd like to sell at low prices.

[Jacki Bils]

Hello Jenelle, This is just a art fair calendar. The information you need can be found at www.artfairinsiders.com. That is a website for artists who make a living selling their art work. Check it out and Good Luck.

[Jenelle Goodrick]

Hello,

I am new to this and not quite sure how this works. I have a several photos of the Cleveland, and surrounding areas which, I am looking to start selling. How do you become a vender at one of your arts and crafts shows? What is needed and involved? Any information would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance!

Jenelle Goodrick

Hello Kathy, To get your show listed with us follow the direction on our advertising page. You will find information there on how to add your show:

https://www.artfaircalendar.com/art_fair/advertise-with-us.html

[kathy Gentile]

Hi - can you tell me how to get a show added to your list?

[Jacki Bils]

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.

[john]

Some of your Dates are incorrect Lakewood is on 8/5, you have Medina on a Monday and Berea on a Monday.

[Jacki Bils]

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.

[Kara]

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

[Jacki Bils]

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

Thank you

[Dan]

Hello,
I would like to post some information about my church hosting a Spring Arts and Crafts Fair
Thanks,
Dan

[Jacki Bils]

Hello Nicole and thank you for alerting us to that mistake. I will get that fixed.

[Nicole]

Oddmall at the John S. Knight Center is located in downtown Akron, not Hudson.

[Jacki Bils]

Hello Cindy, we are glad that our calendar helps you. If you are an artist, check out www.Artshowreviews.com. There is a lot of helpful information there that will help you, too.

[Cindy Schmidt]

I really appreciate having your website available! I've been branching out from NYS art shows to other states in the past few years, and I often refer to the information listed on ArtFairCalendar. Thanks!

Cindy Schmidt

[Jacki Bils]

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.

[vicki neltner]

Are y'all not doing the Folk Art Festival in Sharonville, Ohio anymore?

[Jacki Bils]

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.

[Geri Coletta]

Why do some of the events have an * after the dates, and some don't?

[Jacki Bils]

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:

http://www.artfaircalendar.com/art_fair/advertise-with-us.html

Good luck with your show.
