The United Arts Council presents an annual Cultural Arts Booking Fair every August. The Fair is a day-long, trade-show-format event that allows school representatives to see firsthand a sampling of the artists available through the United Arts Council’s Artists Resource Directory. At the Fair, school and community representatives can meet the artists and watch them showcase segments of their programs throughout the day. The event features artists who are currently listed in the United Arts Council’s Artists Resource Directory. For artists interested in being listed in the Directory, please visit Information for Artists.

The United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County presented its annual Booking Fair on Saturday, August 14, 2010 at Wakefield High School in Raleigh, N.C. The festival featured professional artists from across the country who showcased samples of their youth programming. United Arts also offers a Directory of artists from across the country who present educational arts programs designed specifically for young audiences. In addition to youth programming, many of these artists also present performances that would be suitable for adult/all-ages audiences at low to moderate costs.
