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!

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.

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.

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.
