Calls for Artists & Art Fair Advertising
we can help your art fair, Gallery, Festival, or competition attract more artist applications and shoppers, too!
Calls for Artists is part of the Art Fair Calendar family of websites. Since 2004 we’ve been helping support fine artists, art fairs, and art festivals.
Starting at just $99, our low cost services help attract more artist applications for art fairs, art galleries, exhibitions, festivals, and art competitions nationwide.
Art events looking for more artist exhibitors easily make up the cost of our “Call for Artists” services in revenue from new artist applications. Plus, we can help promote your art events to attendees, too!

Advertiser testimonials:
“I am so very impressed! Your customer service is amazing. Thank you for working with me to develop a custom package to reach both artists and patrons.”
Kathleen Hughes / La Quinta Art Celebration
“Advertising with Art Fair Calendar allows us to get in front of art buyers and patrons who may not have known about our festival otherwise. The Calls for Artists are always perfectly tailored to our show, they have a wide pool of artists who seek out opportunities through their publications, and they always work within our budget. It also doesn't hurt that they are so easy to work with!”
Robin Aiken / Artisphere
“I just met my goal for applications for the year and I still have some hours before the deadline. I'm sure that your promotion played a big part in getting there. Thank you!!”
SARAH UMLAUF / ST. LOUIS ART FAIR

We place our marketing in multiple places and there are more every year that want money for listings. Frankly, the only ones that we are willing to pay for are yours. We know that they get results.”
Mark Loeb / Integrity Events
“We advertise with all the sources and in order to track which is the best producer for us we use custom URLs for all the links. We can see in Google Analytics that your websites and emails always outperform the others by a large percentage.”
