Eager patrons lined up for the Great Lakes Art Fair
|
The annual Spring Great Lakes Art Fair at the Suburban Collection Showplace offers artists a wonderful opportunity to show their work in a single, upscale, easily accessible indoor location, the sprawling "weather-free" Suburban Collection Showplace in affluent suburban Novi.
The Spring Great Lakes Art Fair combines exclusive and desirable works from local, regional and national artists and craftspeople with a charming village marketplace setting, seasonal motif and on site café with delicious light fare. The show offers an unofficial kick-off to the warm weather Art Fair season, and a chance to see new artwork before it "hits the streets" at outdoor fairs across the region.
"Since we have consolidated the bi-annual Great Lakes Art Fairs into a single Spring event we have had heightened interest from both artists and patrons," says Blair Bowman, Owner of the Suburban Collection Showplace and the Great Lakes Art Fair.
Expect:
- drive up to your booth to unload and load
- extensive regional marketing to bring people to the show
- artist reception with tasty food and wine bar
- friendly staff whose goal is to make you glad to be here; coffee, snacks, etc.
As the economy improves attendance and sales at the show have grown. Spring 2013 brought nearly record levels of buyers to the show. April means buyers eager to find an art fair and an opportunity for you to showcase your newest work. We know you are looking for income in April and we hope you will choose our show to start your 2014 season.
The Great Lakes Art Fair is a juried art fair, with a panel of select artists and curators collaborating to determine the ideal mix of mediums and artists that comprise the Fair. Artist applications are being accepted until February 10.
The just opened Hyatt Place Hotel on premise at the Suburban Collection Showplace also offers new convenience, amenities and ease of access for visiting artists and patrons.

Thanks, Alison and Connie...might be a good one to try and close to home too.
This show used to have a Spring and Fall component. The fall event last took place in November 2012. Interestingly, the attendance at last Spring's show greatly improved. They are hoping that turning this into a once a year event that it will become stronger. I'm sure we all hope for that. I think it is well worth the change.
I've previously done this show for many years. Super easy setup and breakdown, as you drive your vehicle indoors to your space. However, for me, my sales slowly dropped off. I do stained glass. I do know many artists that do very well there. Might be worth it for you to try once.
This sounds interesting...has anyone participated in this show? Opinions?
