Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair
August 14
9-6pm
On August 14, 2021, many of the nation's finest artists and craftsmen will be coming to the Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair to exhibit their best works. These have been chosen from hundreds of applicants who subject their work to the jury. This is a most difficult task as this fair attracts the finest but only a limited number of spaces are available.
Considered one of the most visually exciting art fairs in the country, the Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair, now in its 62nd year, has a reputation with critics and collectors alike for the quality of the work exhibited and the unparalleled location. The focus of the fair to bring fine arts and crafts to northern Michigan hasn't changed since a group of Charlevoix residents initiated the fair in 1958.
