230 Artists
Deadline: January 31
Produced by Art Festival Board of Directors under the auspices of the East Lansing Arts Commission/City of East Lansing.
Established in 1964, the East Lansing Art Festival is held every spring during the weekend prior to the Memorial Holiday weekend. The popular Festival attracts 70,000-80,000 attendees from across the region. In addition to the 230 juried exhibitors emerging artists are also invited to participate through a competitive selection process. Emerging artists must be affiliated with an institution of higher education within the last 2-3 years.
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.
What to expect besides the art:
Free performances on two stages highlighting a wide variety of music
Free arts activities for children and families
An international-style food court
Having exhibited in this art fair ourselves here is what else you will like:
*well-educated visitors, unaffected by the economic downturn in the State; professional people from State government and the University
*well-planned entertainment that enhances the art rather than distracts from it
*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
*a well-seasoned staff who "get it"
*easy load in and out
Message from the Arts Program Coordinator, Corinn Van Wyck:
We were rated 32 this by Sunshine artist in their 2008 top 100 fine art fair list. The 2008 festival was very well attended and our artist surveys indicate that most artists had very positive sales - doing better than expected regardless of the economic downturn and some nasty blustery conditions late on Saturday. The great thing we have going for our festival, now in its 46th year, is that this community really supports the event and the artists who attend. Our patrons are knowledgeable and dedicated - they look forward to the festival every and plan to come out and shop - regardless of weather or bad economic news! As a wise person said at an event I attended last week, "there may be a recession going on, but we have chosen not to participate!" I think that sums it up nicely.
Sounds good, doesn't it? Visit: http://www.elartfest.com/ for more information.
