It is June 9. Has anyone done it? The name makes me think it features food more than art. Thanks!Continue

Lake Geneva WI?

Anyone do it? I have been aware of it for a while (I grew up less than 10 miles away), but the non refundability aspect thus far has stopped me. Thanks!Continue

It’s in mid-August. I was looking for information and reviews on this. Then I noticed that there seem to be quite a few shows in this small town. Is one better than another? Or are there just too…Continue

Fall into the Arts, Centennial Lakes in Edina is the show and it takes place the 2nd weekend in Sept.

Michael W., the Art and Craft fair is mostly crafts and is well attended and well advertised. I have never been in it because it does not lean toward fine art, but people instead looking for crafts.

It's centennial lakes

I am searching for an Art Fair a customer recommended here in Minnesota. She claimed it was in late Sept. and it was like the fall version of Edina. Anybody know the name or have any info of this show?

Hello again, just sent an application in for the Little Falls MN Art and Craft Fair in September. Has anyone been in that show? Can you share your experiences good, bad or ugly?

Hello everyone, I  am a newbie. I recently retired and started to draw pastels of Minnesota Birds. I know that I have started at the worst possible time as many "Art Fairs" have already closed. My question to the group is are there any smaller art events that may not already be closed in the North Central Region near Detroit Lakes Minnesota?

Great to hear Mindy! I look forward to meeting you. Saw your jewelry on Etsy. Very nice!

Hey Susan, I have committed as well. The artists I talk to see I will do wonderful. In fact last year, 2012, a friend of mine was on the end, where ever that is, and he did fabulous. He always does good tho being women's clothing and just at the perfect price point. I hope to see you there. I'm traveling from AZ! I do have family in WI to be honest and need to go there often anyhow. Good luck!

Thanks Jenny! Appreciate your insight. I have committed, so hoping for the best!

Edina seems to tweek their layout every year so it can be hard to tell the bad spots if you are anywhere other than the main strett. They took out the main bad spot this year but I know they stuck a couple of overflow people there and they were not happy and ended up leaving.

But yes, there is no extra space and loading in and out can be a nightmare if you are not there right when they open.
