    Greg Lawler’s Art Fair SourceBook™ (http://artfairsourcebook.com/), created in 1993, has been called “the definitive guide to the best juried art & craft fairs in the United States”. It contains art fair listings, craft show listings, and festival listings for the 600 top-selling events with detailed critiques and sales-based ratings

The Art Fair SourceBook™ 100 TOP Ranked Fine Arts Festivals for 2010 ranked the Atlanta Arts Festival #126 in Fine Art and #163 in Fine Craft. Rankings are based solely on artist sales, as reported by the artists directly to Art Fair Sourcebook™ , for the previous calendar year’s event.

The Atlanta Arts Festival attributes this ranking to their efforts to target market the large and enthusiastic art buying community of Atlanta and the surrounding region. Remarks Julie Tepp, AAF’s Festival Director, "We will not be successful if our artists are not successful. Our number one priority is to produce a high quality fine art-fine craft festival."
