Upcoming this weekend, big doings in the Midwest. You can choose Minneapolis or Chicago.
The biggie in metro Minneapolis, the Uptown Art Fair, with about 350 artists: A Fusion of Art, Flavor and Flair. While you're there you may as well also head to Loring Park and the Powderhorn art fairs also. A great weekend to be in the Twin Cities!
One of the granddaddies of art fairs arrives in Chicago this weekend, the Gold Coast Art Fair with over 300 artists. You'll find this story interesting about the "stormchaser artist," David Mayhew, featured at this three day event.
Also this weekend in the Chicago area, in Batavia visit Art in Your Eye.
I'd love a report from someone who knows about this one, SoNo Arts Celebration, in South Norwalk, CT, 175 artists in a cool revitalized historic district: 33 years later, SoNo Arts Festival still a showcase
Whoops! Looks like I was ahead of myself here - Uptown isn't until next weekend, August 7-8! The upside of this is it gives artists two excellent back to back weekends at big events.

Regardless, it is still amazing how many top quality artists there are, able to support this many art festivals.
