Thanks Crudeco, looks like there's something here for everyone.

[Drakestail]

That's amazing! I wish they did Canadian shows, too. It would be lovely to have a list like that and know which show is accepting applications when.

[NaturelMistik]

Thank you CrudeCo! I just posted a similar list on my team for local shows. I really need to get on ZAPP.

[whatleyphotography]

I use zapp a lot to apply to shows. It is so easy to use I highly recommend it if these are the kind of shows you are looking for.

[CarolBradley]

Zapp is a great resource and makes the application process easy. Remember to check with friends who may have insight into to some of the shows. Just because a show is on Zapp doesn't mean it's a great show or well-managed.

[eaststreettins]

thanks for the info

[Mulchandmore]

thanks for the info. Nice to see a few Michigan shows, one even fairly close!

[Former_Member]

I have found they have the most up to date register of the best juried shows and event sin the country.

Many shows that scheduled theri own jury system and coordinated their art fairs in the late 90's now use ZAPP.

I keep my file and image there and update with new images when I need. Then your work is stored in one location to up load to the shows jury process....

[sistersacttwo]

I am registered on ZAPP and get this info in my email-get all excited when I see something from them. Just make sure your photos are professionally done!!
