Since the early 1990's the Colorado Artist Tour (CAT) has been helping artists and vendors find festivals in Colorado. For all of those years it has been a packet with the physical applications enclosed. In 2009, CAT transformed into a virtual 'packet' with the applications online for subscribers to print out and apply.

Besides the obvious reason that you are receiving so many applications (some for shows that are so new that you are one of the first to know about them) for such a small subscription fee. You are saved the hassles of searching for and calling the shows to get info. There are now more reasons with the online service. You can access two calendars which will help you find shows on specific dates and also find out upcoming deadlines. There will be more services as time goes on.

No. CAT acts as a supplier of info and applications to as many shows in Colorado as possible. Since subscribers are looking for all types and sizes of shows, that is what we try to deliver. We recommend that you check into the shows before applying.

Most shows will be listed by January 1 but additional shows will be added as the year goes on. Some shows will be new ones, while others may be shows that did not have their applications ready by the first of the year.
