The Ella Sharp Museum of Art & History is pleased to issue a call for artists for our annual Festival. Now in its ninth year, the festival has become an eagerly anticipated event which features the best of local Michigan art, wine, and music. Festival goers can enjoy live music and artist booths nestled on the grounds of the Ella Sharp Museum.
The Festival takes place on the courtyard of the museum's historic Hillside Farm Lane and surrounding grounds. There is no entrance fee to the event itself for guests wishing to peruse artists' booths and take in the live entertainment.
We hope you will consider spending the day with us on our lovely historic grounds, 10 x 10 spaces are available for only $55 (members) and $65 (non-members).
The goal of the Ella Sharp Festival is to showcase the many talented artists, musicians, wineries, Michigan breweries and local businesses available here in Michigan and to connect them with an appreciative audience. In addition to artist booths, the Festival will offer:
- food from local vendors
- performances from a variety of local professional musicians
- live art demonstrations
- a children's interactive art area
All proceeds from the festival benefit the museum and our educational department which runs such programs as Pioneer Living and Arts Go to School.
The Ella Sharp Museum is situated in a beautiful 530 acre city park and includes five galleries, historical buildings, a museum, fine restaurant and a full season of events that are popular throughout the region. Those who live nearby say it is a beautiful place that presents fine cultural events to this community.
