Established in 1964, the East Lansing Art Festival kicks off the festival season each Spring on the weekend prior to the Memorial Day holiday weekend in the beautiful streets of downtown East Lansing. The popular Festival attracts 70,000-80,000 attendees from across the region. In addition to the 200-220 juried exhibitors the ELAF encourages future artists through emerging artist programs.
East Lansing is a charming University town with a wide variety of shops, restaurants, galleries and the beautiful Michigan State University campus across the street.
This long-standing, non-profit event is beloved by the community of Greater Lansing and attracts devoted art buyers from across the state. Informally known as the "City of the Arts" the City of East Lansing welcomes the finest artists in North America to exhibit at this highly promoted event.
Having exhibited in this art fair ourselves here is what else you will like:
- well-educated visitors, including professional people from State government and the University
- dedicated and friendly volunteers who welcome artists with friendly smiles facilitating a smooth load in and out
- booth sitting services
- well-planned eclectic live music entertainment that enhances the art rather than distracts from it
- international flavors in a unique food court
- a festive mood as this is the kickoff of the art fair season
- affiliation with the Public TV and radio stations, bringing the right people to you
