Hello Samantha, Sorry I missed this. I hope you were able to attend the event. No, they did not include a website link with their listing. We try to alert shows to how important it is to add a weblink, but it is their decision to not include one.

Hello Carly, To get your art show listed on our Art Fair Calendar go to the home page of Art Fair Calendar. Scroll down the home page and look for Advertise your Art Fair. On that page you will find a spot that will tell you how to get your show listed with us. Thanks for contacting us.

[Carly]

We would like to add our event to this page! It is a 2-day celebration of community and tradition. The Festival is a major celebration of the arts while honoring the rich history of Oak Cliff and Kidd Springs Park.

[Jacki Bils]

Hello Cindy,
Just send me your show info and I will contact you jacki@artfaircalendar.com

Sorry for the trouble you are having.

[Cindy Eppolito]

I do not understand how to post my show, when I go to the link you suggested, and click on Texas & Southwest Art Fairs it takes me back to the main page where I just came from. Please send me "how to for dummies". Thank you.

If you copy and paste this into the brouser it will take you to the page that tells you how to submit your show to us: http://www.artfaircalendar.com/art_fair/advertise-with-us.html
Thank you

[Amanda]

Hello,
We'd like to post our Arts & Crafts Fair in Albuquerque, NM to your site...I assume the Southwest section would be most appropriate. Please let me know if this is enough to get us posted, or what we need to do. Thanks!

[Jacki Bils]

Hello Rob, we do have that show listed on our calendar. Go look at the Texas & South West page where 2017 is. It is right there. The show starts January 14 in 2017. We are glad you are a fan of the show.

[Rob Talbert]

Surprised you did not list Celebration of Fine Art which runs in Scottsdale Az from mid January through late March. They have been at it for over 20 years and is one of my favorite shows to visit.

[Jacki Bils]

Hello Anna, Thanks for asking about the asterisk. If an asterisk is placed after a show date it means the show date is up to date. I have verified the date for the current year. The asterisk is actually for my benefit so that I know which show dates I need to keep looking for.

[Anna]

What does the * next to some fairs mean?

[Jacki Bils]

Hello Azizov, we are an art fair calendar. We do not run the art shows. If you want to be in an art show you will have to contact the shows individually that you want to be in. Each show has their own rules that you will have to follow. Good luck.

[Azizov Ramz]

Hello. We are masters applied art from Uzbekistan.For exp.(embrodery,jellewery,miniature,wood carwing and master dolls). And we want to take iformation about your exibition. Can we participate in your festivals. Thanks a lot.

[Jacki Bils]

It is nice to watch the growth of these art shows. Let's keep these shows alive and well.
