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!
Posted by: Amanda | June 14, 2016 at 11:03 AM
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.

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.
Posted by: Rob Talbert | April 27, 2016 at 03:55 PM
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.

What does the * next to some fairs mean?
Posted by: Anna | February 29, 2016 at 09:08 AM
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.
