Effective promotion is as crucial to overall success as the selection of artists. Our mission is to deliver a high quality experience for patrons and artists that will assure qualified buyers, return visits and exponential event growth.
Participating Artists will also benefit from a multi-level marketing and publicity campaign to promote the event throughout the region, including media partnerships in print, radio, television, billboards over the freeway, direct mail and building awareness of this new regional event.

If you go to their website, you can find a list of artists by categories for the last several years. There are only 3 or 4 photographers who consistently return to the show across a three year span, although that can be interpreted several ways; either most photographers don't do well except for a few or the show wants a high turnover to keep the show fresh.
Has anyone here participated in the Great Lakes Art Fair, especially photographers? Curious as to traffic and whether it is an art fair crowd or more of a vendor booth crowd. Thanks.
