Fairfax Art Fairs

Okay so far I've sent an email to the Fairfax Authority and an admin for the Spotlight Festival. The booths are roughly $100 which is more feasible being a starving artist, then the $250-$500 some places are asking.

Spotlight on the Arts

Held each April, Spotlight on the Arts features three weeks of music, dance, theater, art and choral concerts. Sponsored by the city in cooperation with George Mason University, Northern Virginia Community College and City of Fairfax Schools, Spotlight on the Arts events take place at venues throughout the city, university and college locations.
