Ohio Arts Council Calls For Listings For The 2009 Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory
by Jaclyn Reynolds

The Ohio Arts Council is assembling its 2009 Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory and invites festivals across Ohio to submit their listings. 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 directory contains detailed information about arts and crafts festivals and competitions, 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.

Organizers or promoters interested in listing their arts festivals or competitions in the 2009 Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory should fill out the questionnaire found at www.oac.state.oh.us/search/OACFestival/SearchFestivals.asp . The form is being emailed or mailed on August 8 to coordinators of all festivals appearing in the 2008 directory.

The directory is published by the Ohio Arts Council and distributed in partnership with the Ohio Arts and Crafts Guild, Ohio Designer Craftsmen, Ohio Division of Travel and Tourism, Ohio Department of Transportation, Chambers of Commerce, Convention and Visitors Bureaus and AAA offices around the state. 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.
