Annual list compiled by Gina Hurst, Art Consultant. January 2011. As of this writing there are several art shows and festivals that have not posted the 2011 application deadline dates. Check websites later in the year.

If you know of other festivals that should be added to this list please let me know and I will include them. gina@ginahurst.com

Also check periodically, art shows and festivals are posted on the www.AscribingArtists.blogspot.com and www.HuntsvilleArtBlog.blogspot.com

Below is a link to the Alabama Arts Directory, which was published in early 2009 as a culmination of the 2008 "The Year of Alabama Art" tourism promotion. It lists museums, galleries and art festivals, which are great venues Ascribing Artists can contact to promote their artwork.
