Created by Anton Art Center (See other events)
The Anton Art Center presents the 2010 Mount Clemens Art Fair. The fair takes place in picturesque downtown Mount Clemens, a small-scale urban landscape with retailers, restaurants and nightclubs.The Anton Art Center has hosted a fine arts fair for over 25 years. The 2009 Mount Clemens Art Fair drew approximately 10,000 visitors. The Mount Clemens Art Fair was among the first in the region to present fine artists and fine crafters along with alternative and urban crafters.Fine artists and fine crafters participating in all three days of the art fair are invited to conduct artist demonstrations. The Anton Art Center will publicize demos to attract a more discerning art fair patron, along with artist attendees.Artists working in and exhibiting all media are expected, including ceramic, painting, photography, jewelry, metalwork and more. Cash prizes totaling $850 will be awarded to the most outstanding artists of the fair. Artists will also be invited to enjoy a complimentary breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings.SATURDAY ONLY, alternative and urban crafters will be showcased in the CRAFTERS CARNIVAL, a single indoor space that will encourage a community atmosphere. The Crafters Carnival is a more affordable option for casual crafters and hobbyists, and is geared toward lower price-points and quirkier products. The space hosting the Crafters Carnival will change each day of the fair, hosting student artists on Friday and fine art galleries on Sunday, giving fair-goers reason to come back each day for a different experience.A wide variety of performers will be scheduled throughout the art fair, inviting couples and families to relax, while they continue enjoying the art on display. A Children’s Tent will host make-and-take arts and crafts for kids of all ages, along with age-appropriate entertainment.The 2010 Mount Clemens Art Fair has a Media Sponsorship agreement pending. The Art Fair has wide demographic appeal and will be advertised throughout Macomb County and the surrounding area. We will be providing postcards to artists, sending out press releases and e-blasts to our mailing lists.FEES AND AWARDS for Fine Artists and Fine Crafters for three full days: June 4, 5 & 6, 2010• $15 Jury Fee• $150 Booth Fee (10’x10’)• $200 Corner Booth Fee (10’x10’)• $250 Double Booth Fee (20’x10’)• $25 Electricity FeeThree cash prizes will be awarded, totaling $850. $500 will be awarded to the Best in Show, $250 will be awarded to second place and $100 to third place.
