2021 Art Fair Returns After Pandemic Hiatus

The 2021 Grosse Pointe Art Fair will be held lakeside from noon to 7 p.m., May 22, and noon to 5 p.m., May 23, at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club. Visitors can shop exquisite works of art they cannot find online or in the big box stores.

            In addition to the Grosse Pointe Art Fair, Art Fair Fun also produces the Fine Art Fine Wine Fair at St. Mary’s in Orchard Lake, consulting with 19 Michigan Art Fairs including fairs at the Ann Arbor Art Fair and the Wyandotte Street Art Fair. As they work to bring the visual arts to the public in the form of art fairs, they are also developing a nonprofit end to bring creative resources to those with chronic conditions and help women artists gain exposure in the art world to increase their representation in permanent collections.

 

Admission and parking is free with shuttle. Location: 788 Lakeshore Rd., Grosse Pointe Shores. For more information, visit Facebook.com/grossepointeartfair.
