Hello Allison, your show sounds really fun. Wish I was going to be in Atlanta to catch it. However, your event does not seem to be the type we list on our Art Fair Calendar. Our calendar is for listing high end art shows. We don't typically list events that have events going on that are not art related. Here is the link with the information about listing an art show: http://www.artfaircalendar.com/art_fair/advertise-with-us.html
