Guide To Maine juried Art Festivals and Fairs
Three years ago as a new artist to hit the “fair network” I spent hours on the internet looking for links to Maine Art Festivals and Fairs. Often I went to the show listing of artists that I knew, and tried to glean information from there. I was only interested in juried events, but even venues that I knew existed were sometimes very difficult to find. As a mixed media artist, I didn’t want to limit myself to shows that were exclusively art…sometimes putting myself in with woodworkers and jewelers and quilters and other artisans is a very lucrative showcase for my tree art. To save other artists some of their own valuable time, I thought I’d publish a blog post about some of my findings, so here’s my growing list (in no particular order) of juried events for artists in Maine:
