by Jami Goldstein

The Ohio Arts Council’s 2010 Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory is available. The directory contains detailed information about arts and crafts festivals and competitions throughout 2010, 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 Council wants to encourage people to enjoy the arts in communities throughout Ohio,” said Julie Henahan, executive director, Ohio Arts Council. “The Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory lists wonderful events happening year round. We encourage people to order their directory early so they can enjoy the full spectrum of festivals in the Buckeye State.”

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 $1.44 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/search/OACFestival/SearchFestivals.asp.

The directory is published by the Ohio Arts Council and distributed in partnership with the Ohio Arts and Crafts Guild and 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 Ohio Arts Council is a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally and economically.
