New Bigger Location + New Date!


We are excited to announce that Art on the Grand has become GRANDER this year! Due to its amazing popularity, the fair will be a brand new, stand-alone event (NOT part of the Founders Festival) in downtown Farmington, to the delight of the city, and all involved.

Grand River Avenue (our main street) will be closed for several blocks east of Farmington Road, as art takes center stage over the whole city! Events arranged around Art on the Grand will appeal to the high-level crowds:
  • an opening reception, wine/beer tent
  • hands-on art activities for kids
  • high quality entertainment
  • food from some of our wonderful area restaurants.

  • This is such a good location and time of year for this show, Susan. It should work. I don't think they ever ran it late. They just got around to this date change about a month ago and are very aware they are behind in the schedules, but hoping for good applicants.
