Ohio Arts Council’s 2005 Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory Available
by Kathy Burgan

The Ohio Arts Council’s 2005 Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory is available. The directory contains detailed information about arts and crafts festivals and competitions throughout 2005, including dates, activities, number of spaces available for artists to display work, fees and contact information. It is organized by date and location and includes alphabetical indexes of festivals by name, city, region and sponsor. The directory is a useful guide for artists interested in places to display and sell their work—from traditional crafts to arts on the cutting edge—and for anyone seeking to experience the arts in Ohio.

“The Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory is a great resource that enables citizens to engage with the arts in their communities,” said Wayne Lawson, Ohio Arts Council. “We encourage people to order early before the supply runs out. It is one of the Ohio Arts Council’s most popular publications, which has led us to also add an online version to our website.”

To receive a copy of the Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory call 1-800-BUCKEYE, Ohio’s travel information hotline, and ask to speak to a travel counselor from the automated menu or send a self-addressed #10 envelope with $1.06 in postage to the Ohio Arts Council, 727 E. Main Street, Columbus, OH 43205-1796. An online version is available on the Council’s web site at www.oac.state.oh.us.

The directory is published by the Ohio Arts Council and distributed in partnership with the Ohio Arts and Crafts Guild and Ohio Designer Craftsmen. The listings are compiled by Lorz Communications of Columbus.

The Ohio Arts Council is a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally and economically.
