I have used both Sunshine Artist and the Art Fair Source Book as guides for
outdoor shows. I much prefer the Source Book but it is expensive. Where I
used to live I had a very generous friend who let me borrow his as needed, so
I haven't bought it, yet. It's listings are very comprehensive and easy to
use, plus they give you an average sales amount from the previous year and
how many artists were accepted in each catagory. In defense of Sunshine
Artist, once a year in the fall they put out a 200 best shows issue which is
very helpful too. Their normal show reviews seem biased to the writers
opinion, but this best of issue seems more comprehensive and unbiased. If I
were just starting out I'd buy the best of issue and then get the source book
once I saw if outdoor shows were working for me.

Not a member of the list, but this came up on my message scan, so I
hope you'll allow the posting.

The Sunshine Artist monthly reviews are compiled by the state
reporters from Audit reports and their own observations. When they
have received few audit forms on a particular show, then their
reviews are, by necessity, subjective. Exhibitors can be a great
help to their fellow show participants by filling out a Fast Audit
for each show they attend. This can be done on the website at:
http://sunshineartist.com/forms/fast_aud.htm
Good feedback can help make the reviews more representative for
everyone.
