Summertime on Park Point conjures a sense of rolling waves and seagulls soaring over rare beach grass and one hundred year old pines. And for one weekend each year, it brings artists and art lovers together in a festive setting that welcomes one and all. The region’s longest standing outdoor visual arts showcase returns to Minnesota’s favorite sandbar annually for 52 years. Park Point is an affluent community in the heart of the city of Duluth. "The Point" as it is affectionately called, is a unique environment and a destination in a destination town.
The Park Point Art Fair was awarded 10,000 dollars from the city of Duluth to forward its mission. Much of that money will be spent on marketing efforts making this an important year to participate and set the stage for more future support.
"I love the community spirit! I appreciate how many Park Point residents volunteer to help. And there is a special connection between the artists that is stronger than other shows. Most of all the community shows up to support the artists, even with rain in the forecast. I noticed that many visitors came with empty tote bags and were planning to shop for art."
The weekend event, which draws an estimated 10,000 visitors, offers the chance to meet 100+ juried artists showing and selling fine art and craft, while enjoying live music, good eats, art making magic and more—all in a stunning setting on the shores of Lake Superior.
