Now Available: 2011 Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory
by Stephanie Dawson

The Ohio Arts Council’s 2011 Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory is now available. The directory contains detailed information about arts and crafts festivals and competitions throughout 2011, including dates, activities, number of spaces available for artists to display their 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 finding 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.

“Our goal with the 2011 Ohio Arts Festivals and Comeptitions Directory is to provide artists and arts partons with the information they need to stay connected with the arts not only in their communities, but across the state of Ohio,” said Julie S. Henahan, executive director of the Ohio Arts Council. “The 2011 directory is a great resource—it fits right in the glovebox, ready to be used so Ohioans can experience all of the great works Ohio artists and craftsmen have to offer.”

To receive a copy of the 2011 Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory call 1-800-BUCKEYE, Ohio’s travel information hotline, and request to speak to a travel counselor from the automated menu.
