7th Palmer Park Art Fair
 June 6 & 7
Detroit, Michigan Palmer Park
Saturday 10am-7pm & Sunday 11am-5pm
65 artists
Deadline: March 1
Application fee: $25; Booth fees start at $335 Best for high-end traditional work, afro-centric work, larger paintings and sculpture.  The show is held in beautiful Palmer Park and is adjacent to some of the city's best neighborhoods. Residents are professionals with huge homes and great disposable income. Our experience is the shoppers like more traditional images, and afro-centric work also does well. Don't be afraid to bring larger work as many people have substantial historic homes.
The show winds around a pond and runs adjacent to the historic log cabin. Artists are encouraged to get out of the tent and create installations that enhance their work and interact with the natural beauty of the park.
 The "entertainment" is art projects and artist demonstrations. Patrons are invited to get their hands dirty. All of this helps to contribute to appreciation and sales.
