Great Lakes Art Fair

The Great Lakes Art Fair is considered to be the fastest growing indoor art event in southeastern Michigan. For four years, the Great Lakes Art Fair has provided local artists the opportunity to showcase fine art on a large platform. Featured work will include fiber, jewelry, glass, ceramics, photography and more.

This three-day art exhibition will take place on Friday, April 13 from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, April 14 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, April 15 from 11  a.m. until 5 p.m. at the .

The Great Lakes Art Fair was created in April 2009 by Blair Bowman, owner of the Suburban Collection Showplace, to replace the Sugarloaf Art Fair. In the same year, the Suburban Collection Showplace launched the “Generation Next” project.  The Generation Next project provides elementary, middle and high school students with a venue to display their personal artwork, alongside local artists. Since the inception of the Generation Next project, an ongoing partnership between the Great Lakes Art Fair and local school districts within the Tri-County areas continues to thrive. Every student participating in this year’s art fair will receive special recognition, including a certificate of achievement.

The Art Fair will feature blacksmith and art demonstrations, as well as live music from local musicians. Local dance troupes will entertain on the main stage.
