If you're into juried arts & crafts fairs...

File this one under "truly useful resource."

I joined their mailing list a while ago and find their Art Fair SourceBook "AFSB Event Weekly" email newsletter very helpful. They list upcoming events all over the United States, give application deadlines and links for applications.

For example, the email I received today include 13 events in seven states, from ArtFest at Fort Myers coming up in February 2012, to the Comtemporary Crafts Market in Santa Monica, CA this November, to the Carefree Fine Art & Wine Festival in Carefree AZ March of next year.

They are also publishers of the Art Fair Source Book (since 1993), where they list nearly 1000 art fairs, art shows, art festivals, and craft shows. The listings include "the 600 top-selling events with detailed critiques and sales-based ratings."

I don't get anything by recommending them, I just like them because they are a truly useful resource. Check it out at their website:   http://www.artfairsourcebook.com/
