Hello from snowy cold Cleveland Ohio. This is my 4th year of planning my year of art shows, and submitting my applications. Until now I have been basing my plan of events around the northeastern Ohio area... but to be honest I tried venturing out o

I don't know if we will apply to this one or not but thought it worth
Read more…Hello everyone,
Has anyone done this show? I heard about this show last year, but hadn't noticed it while trying to schedule shows for this year, until the notice came up on Zapp that the deadline was coming up.
According to the website it is in it'
Read more…I have been making my products since 1990. Whenever I apply to a show I always include, along with pictures, an open invitation to any promoter or jury team to stop by my shop unannounced. Last year the sauerkraut festival told me they were full. Ok,
Read more…My wife Kim and I have done this show for many years and usually do well. We were taken a-back by the email offering a refund due to over-booking.
We have always had trouble getting a decent booth assignment in this show even though we are nearly a

Read more…I get the impression that sitting in on the Jurying of local art fairs is possible.
It seems like a very good idea to sit in and take the temperature of the Jury. I mean, really, what better learning opportunity?
Are there shortcuts to sitting in o
Read more…After reading through many posts here I have read many complaints about buy/sell getting into shows. I just thought I would start a discussion on shows that have ejected buy/sell from their shows once they have managed to get beyond the jury process
