Is there a printed book of all FNO events?

We do not have a printed copy of all events because it is not an efficient way to present the information. You will ultimately only be interested in a small percentage of the 20,000+ events that we list.
However, with level 2 access you can create your own "booklet" of events to take with you on the road. As you search for and find events of interest, you can add those to "My List." Then, select the "Print My List" option to print your own personalized booklet of events.

•

Here is an example:

•

To quickly create a list of events in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina that are 200 miles from Tallahassee, FL.

•

Use the State drop-down list and the Zip Code Radius Search.

•

Put 200 miles in the distance (or however far you travel) and your zip in the zip code box (32308 for this example).

•

Then pick a state in the State drop-down list (choose AL for this example).

•

Click "Search to View Events" and then click "Add All Events to My List".

•

Next click your Back button twice and change the state (for this example pick SC) and search again.

•

Now, again click "Add All Events to My List" and click your Back button twice.

•

Change the state (for this example pick GA), search again and click "Add All Events to My List."

•

Then simply click "Print My List," staple those sheets together and away you go!

Be sure to NOT add other search options as you will limit your search results. If there is something specific you know you want, like juried shows only, you might add a single additional option like that.

How do I find events that allow commercial items?

To find events that allow commercial items, try ALL of these.

•

In the the Pro Search select "commercial" for "what booths are allowed," but keep the default settings for all other options like "juried" or "entertainment." It is OK to add the zip code radius option.

•

Next try "corp./information" for "what booths are allowed" and again keep the default settings for all other related options.

•

Then try "craft" for "what booths are allowed" and select "non juried" and keep all other default settings. These events will sometimes allow commercial vendors.

•

Also try selecting "non juried" while keeping the default settings for all other related options, including "no preference" for "what booths are allowed."

•

Try putting the word "commercial" in the key word search. Keep in mind, a key word search looks for that word if it appears anywhere in the event information (i.e. event name, location, description, what is allowed...).

It is always better to select FEWER search options to improve your search results.

Don't rule out an event unless it is clearly 100% juried and/or 100% fine art and/or fine craft, check with each event to know for sure. Many events say art/craft, but allow some "commercial" items. Always check with an event to verify what they DO or DO NOT allow. It never hurts to ask!
