Buford

Buford is the live event map for art and craft festivals. Whether you're an artist setting up your booth, an organizer running the show, or an art lover finding your favorite makers — Buford connects everyone in real time. FOR ARTISTS Check in when you arrive and your booth appears instantly on the live event map. Share your exact location with collectors, friends, and family with one tap. See who else is checked in, discover fellow artists in your medium, and build your network show after show. Your booth stays visible until midnight on your last day — even when you step away. FOR EVENT ORGANIZERS Drop map pins for everything your artists and attendees need to find — load-in zones, parking, restrooms, food, first aid, road closures, and more. Send instant announcements to every checked-in artist in seconds. Manage your entire event from one dashboard. FOR ART LOVERS Browse the artist directory and filter by medium. Get walking directions straight to any artist's booth. Patrons with mobility needs can find the closest route to any booth. Favorite artists to stay connected between shows. I'm a working artist, not a corporation — I built this to help build and foster the artist community. I was also tired of missing friends at shows. I have beta users but if you find something broken, please message me before leaving a review so I can fix it. I’d genuinely rather hear from you directly. PRIVACY FIRST Buford is not a tracking app. Your static location is only accessed when you choose to use a location feature — and only with your permission. Check-in is always voluntary. You control your visibility. And when you check-out, no more visibility. Free for artists and art lovers.
