Cloudland Canyon State Park
Presented by:
  Friends of Cloudland Canyon State Park
10am-5pm
Up to 200 artists
Deadline: September 26

Artisans (Artist, Crafters and Musicians) that are established to emerging are invited to submit their application.  The beauty of the park and the fall foliage add to the arts, crafts, food and music being featured all weekend.  Major attractions are nearby and Chattanooga is rapidly becoming the location of choice for tourists, a 40 minute drive from the Celebration.  The staff is friendly, helpful and courteous and works to make exhibitors and visitors welcome and happy they came.

Our first year produced over 5,000 visitors and 70 exhibitors.  Survey feedback from exhibitors and visitors was very positive.  We are working now to make the 2014 Celebration much bigger and better.  We have a large list of radio and TV stations, newspapers and magazines, websites and other outdoor organizations that will use our marketing material.

Artist amenities include a free breakfast each morning, someone to watch your booth for you while you take a break.  A nearby ATM machine for visitors to use.  A friendly and helpful staff dedicated to helping you be successful and overnight security.

  • 1740.jpg About 10 million people live within a 150 mile radius and have the discretionary funds to purchase art and crafts.   
  • Access to the Celebration is from three interstate highways (124, 159 & 175).   
  • Several major corporations and smaller businesses are sponsoring the event by providing supplies or cash.
  • Extensive signage makes it easy to get to the Celebration.

This year we have already started our aggressive marketing and could accommodate about 20,000 visitors.  Our vision is this Celebration will be in the top 11 Arts and Craft shows soon.

We work hard to make each visitor know they are special and appreciated by having golf carts that meet them when they park and take them back when they leave.  Friendly well identified staff to answer questions and provided needed help plus special parking for the handicapped and those needing special assistance.

There will be free children and adult activities so everyone will have a great time and be eager to return next year.  Music will be provided all day and the chosen food vendors will have tasty food and snacks 1741.jpg?width=269 to enjoy in our special picnic area.

The best of the show exhibitor will receive $700, the second runner up will receive $500 and the third runner up will receive $300.

Canton, Michigan
Plymouth High School
8400 Beck Rd.
9 am to 4 pm
Deadline: when full

Sponsored by the Plymouth-Canton Music Boosters,
a 501c3 organization
125 exhibitors

Canton is in the metro Detroit area, right here.

Several years ago, with funds from the school district drying up that supported a nationally recognized band program, the parents rallied and started fund raising so their children could continue to be enriched by participation in the music program. Their drive to provide an excellent music program for their children is illustrated in their similar efforts to provide a quality craft show.

The juried arts and crafts event is held annually to support the music/band programs at the Plymouth Canton Educational Park. A bake sale, raffle, concessions, and entertainment will also be available. All funds raised go to the band programs at all three Plymouth-Canton High Schools, including the nationally-acclaimed Plymouth-Canton Marching Band that ranked 7th in the Nation in 2007.

What does this mean for you?
  • a small quality event
  • low booth fees
  • easy in and out in one day
  • solid support by the community
  • resulting in a day well spent by you

July 18 24th Annual Art in the Park Petoskey, MI presented by the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce 130 artists Deadline: March 1 Held in Downtown Petoskey's picturesque Pennsylvania Park, this one day, juried fine arts and crafts show is located in the heart of a traditional, wealthy resort area whose passion for art and culture is well known. The well heeled resort community and visitors who come from around the country produce estimated crowd counts of 15,000 and up. Art in the Park's location in a resort area is important to you. Now you can combine your selling opportunities with a vacation, but even more importantly you should know that it is an uncontested fact that the Number One thing people do while they are on vacation is shop and they spend money on things that they do not normally purchase. Shopping for your artwork can be on their list if you attend Petoskey's Art in the Park. If you are worried about Michigan's economy, consider also the fact that the Petoskey region is the vacation destination for St. Louis and Chicago. Expect: *crowds of buyers *a peaceful and beautiful setting in the heart of an historic downtown shopping destination *a complimentary breakfast served by volunteers from Sturgeon River Pottery *fair booth fee of $165 And, to prove this is a hard working committee look at what is new this year: *an artist's Welcome Reception will be held at Stafford's Gallery, with the convenience of registration the night before the show *a block of rooms for artists at North Central Michigan College, just blocks away from Pennsylvania Park, at a very reasonable price. *And, if you would like to appear at a second show while you are in northern Michigan, consider attending the Goodhart Mini Fair which is Sunday, July 19. (Pre-registration information is available on our art fair application.) Often the ambitious artists who are participating in a one day show are pleased to find another one nearby for the second day. I think this is the first time I have seen two events pair up like this to enable both to have a better selection of artists. Way to go, Chamber of Commerce! Thank you for this consideration. Application forms available online at: www.petoskey.com/art, or call at 231-347-4150 and they will mail one to you.
