The 2012 Michigan Spring Art and Book Festival is now looking for artists and authors to sell and display their works.  We have rented the entire Laurel Park Place Mall in Livonia April 13th through 15th and will have lots of space for artisans, crafts people and visual arts talent.  Throughout the common areas of the center will be 6' tables for writers and 10' x 10' booth space for artists.  Author tables start at $90 per day and the artists booths are only $295 for the three day weekend. What better place to sell and show your artistic talents than a shopping mall?
 
The weekend is free to the public and will have lots of no cost professional development for creative people. Lectures, discussions and workshops by Monica Marie Jones, Elizabeth Atkins, Sylvia Hubbard, Zahra Huber, eBooks2Go and others will give insight into the worlds of art, broadcast journalism, publishing and eBook conversion. Friday and Saturday evenings at 6:00 p.m. we will have our "Gentle to All Ears" poetry sessions and family friendly open mic poetry recitals. Our "Celebrity Read Out Loud" places students with local celebrities and mentors as they read books every thirty minutes. Join Southfield Mayor, Brenda Lawrence, Channel 955 on air personalities "Bg" and "Ace" plus Tony Trupiano from the "Tony Show" and many more for these free readings. 
 
Our R2Books program will donate 1,000 brand new books to students from the area.  Fifty schools, churches and civic organizations will be selected to receive 20 book certificates each.  These book certificates may be redeemed by students, kindergarten through twelfth grade, for any age appropriate book, no cost or obligation. Don't forget to bring the children and those who are young at heart to this free family friendly festival.
 
Applications for each event are now on line at:
 
 
Log on now to reserve your table or call (313) 446-2262 for additional details. Looking to travel or living away from the Detroit Area?  Check out our festivals in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Nashville.  These websites will have more details.
 
 
 
Looking forward to working with you.

Thanks for starting this discussion, Jannelle!  I've learned about a couple titles that I wasn't previously aware of.  May I share this 62 page paperback book that I published in 2010? It includes a listing of more than 270 quilters and textile artists. At some point, I'd like to do an update and include some of the fabulous artists I've met here on Black Art in America!

I am trying to compile a list of Black Artist that teach from their studio or at a school that offers Continuing Education Art Courses. The list is for the group "Realism in Black Art." If you can help, please forward their information for posting.

Speaking of Author's rights; am I the only (self-published) AUTHOR dealing with this problem???
LIKE:

How is it that my book; former title: "RETURN OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN" is still being printed and marketed after I’ve received notice that the publisher had discontinue publishing it and released me from our original contractual agreements? (over 3 years aga) & how are they (the SELLERS) still obtaining copies of the old copies?

As it stands now, my biggest competitors are those Sellers (s) (listed on Amazon.com) Even though I've self publish it. Under a new title: MY SANKOFA
My question is... Do I have a right to complaint?-(If so, to whom? Since the former publisher, hasn't even replied to the above question???
