Call for Artists: Lakeshore Art Festival

July 4 & 5 LakeshoreLogo

Muskegon, Michigan

Hackley Park

10am-6pm

200 Artists

Deadline: March 3

 

Art has been a driving force in downtown Muskegon for over a century. In 1961 Hackley Park became the center for a large-scale art and craft show known as Muskegon Art in the Park. In 2013, the Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce took the local Art in the Park event to the next level with the creation of the Lakeshore Art Festival.

 

The festival features a unique blend of arts, crafts, music, food and fun along the shoreline in historic Downtown Muskegon. Hundreds of artists and crafters will be showcased with fine art in the park, crafts, children's activities and an Artisan Food Market all wrapped up in a street party atmosphere.
