June 13
Commerce Township, Michigan
Presented: Huron Valley Council for the Arts
Dodge Park V
60 Artists
Deadline: April 13
Application fee: $20; Booth fee: $90
Are you wondering why you've never heard of this show? It was formerly the successful "Art on the River" show and now in year 4, it's being updated/changed into the Huron Valley Arts Festival. It's a new look and a new focus, bringing more great artists to Commerce Township, Michigan and it's still sponsored by the Huron Valley Council for the Arts.
The festival centers on the art but also features artist demos, live music and children's activities. There will be food available and this year a craft beer tent as well.
We're changing things up!
We've brought on Bonnie Blandford from Grand Rapids who has lots of experience both in doing and running successful art fairs (currently the Garage Sale Art Fair in Kalamazoo) to help us make the show better for our artists and our community. - We've changed the name and the date to a weekend in June without a lot of Michigan art fairs on it.
- Hours are 10am-5pm. Booths are now 12'x12'.
- We have an artist friendly cancellation policy and we've added 3 small awards this year. With only 60 artists and a $90 booth fee, there are lots of reasons to try this re-branded show!

I'm with you on this, Bonnie. If you are free on that weekend and love small events in nice locations with a solid volunteer base and good connections, this might be one to give a try.
I'm really excited about this growing art fair. The Huron Valley Council for the Arts is just a wonderful group of really enthusiastic volunteers who are doing all they can to make this a successful show for everyone. Once the show has been juried my job becomes promoting you and your art and getting those buyers there. Please consider joining us!!! Deadline is April 13 (it's a bit close to the show date because of all the changes we made).
