On the riverfront
Port Huron, Michigan
Friday & Saturday
Held in conjunction with the Blue Water Fest
60 exhibitors
Deadline: May 1
Uh-oh, you have an open weekend in July (five weekends this year), please join us!
Artists already know the joys of Michigan summers. Please join us for the Blue Water Art Fair, part of the inaugural Blue Water Fest.
The Blue Water Fest builds on the rich tradition of the Port Huron to Mackinac Sailboat Race, a Michigan rite of summer since 1925, featuring a spectacular array of sailboats lining the Black and St. Clair Rivers in Port Huron. Thousands of people, sailors and those who wish they were, line the banks of the Black River, Port Huron to view the yachts. This annual tradition attracts spectators to Port Huron for the magnificent display of boats and now it will also anchor a festival of music, food, juried art and fun on the river.
Why you should apply:
· Small number of exhibitors makes it easy to be noticed
· Good exposure to an affluent clientele of boat aficionados
· A high caliber event new to the area
· Lakefront setting in the heart of a popular summer attraction
· Promotion that will make this a "must attend" destination for
residents and tourists, handled by Jon Witz who really knows
how to promote an event. He is the producer of Arts, Beats &
Eats.
We are seeking original, handcrafted work in all media. This seems like the perfect place to create an art fair that celebrates the region, e.g., painting and photography with a maritime theme, rustic furniture, creations with an "up north" theme. The attendees love their boats and love the Lake Huron neighborhood.
Because of sponsorship by the City of Port Huron we are able to offer the spaces at these very reasonable prices:
Application fee: $10; Booth fee: $190; Corner fee: $35
A collaboration between the City of Port Huron and Jon Witz, producer of Arts, Beats & Eats; Art fair director, Connie Mettler
Be in on the ground floor of a cool new event surrounded by Michigan's Blue Waters and people excited to be "discovering" this new festival.
The facts:
- This is a great date - there are hardly any art fairs on this weekend.
- Booth fees can't be beat. When is the last time you paid under $200 for a two day event?
- This one is going to be fun - come spend the weekend on the Lake Huron shoreline in the middle of an exciting festival.
