On August
10, 2013 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 over 1000 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.
The Fair is always held the second Saturday in August and draws over
25,000 art lovers to this resort town between Lake Michigan and Round Lake. It is the second oldest
juried art fair in Michigan.

The
artists who show at this prestigious fair come from the area as
well as from thousands of miles away for the pleasure of
Charlevoix's summer visitors and the local
residents.
Considered one of the most visually exciting
art fairs in the country, the Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair, now
in its 55th
|
year, has a reputation with critics and collectors because
of both the quality of the work 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 coined it and began the fair in 1958.
