    Getting into craft shows is hard, really hard.  That about sums it
    up.  

    Are all show political?  No.  But many shows, especially the top
    shows, are very competitive to jury into.  ArtFair Sourcebook, which
    rates almost any craft or arts show in the top 400, reports that
    shows with 150 - 200 spaces can have anywhere between 250 to 900
    artists or more applying to the show. Then consider that only 10 to
    20% are jewelers.  In one show I applied to there were 1,000
    applications for 30 jewelry spots!
