How This Directory Is Compiled
The Ohio Arts Council sends questionnaires to the promoters of arts
festivals and competitions in Ohio, seeking information about their
events. Information provided by the promoters is arranged by date
and location in sections labeled Festivals and Exhibitions, followed
by alphabetical indexes of Festivals by Name, Festivals by City,
Exhibitions by Sponsor and Exhibitions by Name.
Events are classified as juried, nonjuried, invitational or juried
invitational, according to information supplied by the promoters.
Those classifications are defined this way:
Juried - A neutral panel or juror reviews each applicant’s work or
slides and makes final selection decisions;
Nonjuried - All applicants are accepted until all spaces are filled,
first-come first-served;
Invitational - Promoters or their staff select exhibitors from
applications or by direct invitations;
Juried invitational - All applicants, past and present, are
reviewed by a neutral panel or juror, then the panel or juror makes
recommendations to the promoter or chairperson who makes final
selection decisions.
Important Notice
Listings in the Ohio Arts Festivals and Competitions Directory have
been compiled based on information supplied by proprietors and
promoters of the individual festivals and competitions. The Ohio
Arts Council (OAC) cannot be held responsible for the accuracy of
that information.
Information may be subject to change. Prior to traveling, please
confirm dates and locations of festivals by visiting the festival’s
website or contacting them via phone.
Artists and craftspeople should be aware that a listing in this directory
does not constitute an endorsement by the OAC of any particular
festival or competition or its promoter or proprietor. Artists and
craftspeople are advised to conduct their own inquiries about any
event that interests them. We have noted where vendor and/or public
parking is provided free of charge. This information may not be
comprehensive.
While we try to make this list as extensive as possible, this is not a
listing of all Ohio festivals. Travelers may discover other worthwhile
festivals, events and arts destinations by calling 1-800/BUCKEYE or
by contacting local convention and visitors bureaus around the state,
which are listed on pages 86-93 in this directory, or by visiting
