It's probably too late for any show worth applying to, but I figured I'd ask if anyone knows of any in the NC, VA, MD, DC, PA area in August still open? Thanks,MichelleContinue

"Shadyside in Pittsburgh is the next weekend. I was there last year. I will most likely go back. I am coming from a large distance so I need to pair it up with another show to be worth it."

Greetings from Raleigh, NC!
I've just joined the site, and I'm interested in reading about artists' experiences at art fairs in the southeast. Like many of us, I've experienced the downturn in the economy, and find myself in search of new shows to consider this year. I'm also a former show creator/promoter (Festival Noir, Boston 1993--2005), so I can offer insights from that side of the business.'Looking forward to becoming an active part of this community....

What NC or SC show are you looking forward to this year?
Are there any? If so, which one(s), and why? If there aren't any, why is that?For me, for the past 8 years, one of my best shows of the year has been Festival for the Eno, on July 4th weekend, in Durham, NC (www.enoriver.org). Positives: No application fee (apps. due 2/15/12), low booth fee ($185 for 3 days, payable after you're juried in), great staff, easy load in any time the day before, good crowds, and good to excellent sales. Negative: HOT…See More

I'm a Propay user too, and considering the Square for this year's shows. How does Square's time lag between sale and $ in your account compare to Propay? Is there anything you miss about Propay, now that you…"

I know that show as Festival in the Park, and we did it in '07, '08, '09, and '10. The first two years were great (got an Honorable Mention ribbon in year 2), the third was bad (rainout all day…"
