Read more…St. James Court Booth Location
Hi All, I'm new to Art Fair Insider, but I need some inside information.
I'm reviewing my acceptance to the St James Court Show. My booth location is SJ-332IC. As far as I can tell, that's the east side of an aisle labeled North Green on a 2011 map.
Did not jury into Mt. Gretna PA, so looking for an August show.
It's probably too late for any show worth applying to, but I figured I'd ask if anyone knows of any in the NC, VA, MD, DC, PA area in August still open?
Thanks,
Michelle
