Please join us for the Great Lakes Art Fair. The GLAF delivers an exceptional event experience for artists and their patrons. This fair is a unique fusion of lush landscapes, tempting food, and an optimal indoor venue of spring and fall events that are rapidly becoming established as the Midwest's premiere indoor art fair!
Art fairs are always looking for ways to enhance the event both for artists and the attending public. This Fall the show will open on Fri. at 1pm and close at 8pm. We will be returning with the hugely successful Friday Ladies Night Out promotion that drew over 2000 women to line up for entry of Friday! It also allows for some Friday setup for artists.
A robust marketing campaign is planned with a variety of media partners.
The juried component of the fair will feature 200 local, regional, and national artists. Expect an elegant entrance gallery showcasing your art, community partnerships and other fresh components that create a wonderful regional marketplace for artists and their patrons. Our goal is an expansive marketplace that brings fresh energy to the regional artistic community.

Comments
Paul, it is always chancy selling 2D art during the holiday time, but people do buy presents for themselves. This show has been around for about four years and this date looks good to me. Last year it was up against the very big Michigan-Michigan State game. This is an improvement. Alison Fox and Paula Grill on this site do it regularly. You might query them.
Connie, we are in Central WI and don't know anything about this show but think it would be nice to do one in November. Is this primarily a show for Christmas buying or would a painter do well here as well. I have tried to do some research here on this site and don't see anything for comments from previous shows. Thank you for your help. ML
