We invite you to apply to our new Arts & Crafts Market in the Gardens. This outdoor event will take place at at the Cranbrook House and Gardens, a National Historic Landmark in Bloomfield Hills. Cranbrook House, the oldest manor home in metro-Detroit, was the former estate of Cranbrook's founders, newspaper mogul George Cough Booth, and his wife, Ellen Scripps Booth. The spectacular and well designed gardens that complement Cranbrook House are the perfect setting for an art show.
Cranbrook is a prestigious location in the heart of wealthy Oakland County. Our mailing list and contributors represent this demographic and are loyal supporters of our annual events. We anticipate a good turnout during the most beautiful time of the year in Michigan. We hope you will take a chance and join us.

Arts & Crafts Market in the Gardens is a juried event.  This event is open to all mediums emphasizing natural materials, hand crafting, organic themes and above all, quality craftsmanship.  Arts & Crafts Market in the Gardens will attract art enthusiasts, the local community, and other visitors interested in purchasing quality fine art and contemporary crafts.
