Wednesday, July 10 – Saturday, July 13; Open daily from 10 am to 9:00 pm –
Entertainment until 11:00 pm
FEATURES
Over 200,000 visitors, 300 fine artists, 25 restaurants, and a multitude of local
merchants.
As one of the largest fine art fairs in the State of Michigan, the 52nd Annual
Wyandotte Street Art Fair attracts fine artists from across the state, region and
nation to showcase their work, and offers a platform to expand community
awareness of the creative arts through a quality event that provides cultural
enrichment to all ages in a fun and festive environment. This year's fair will fill the
streets of historic Downtown Wyandotte with fascinating sights as more than 300
Fine Artists, Musicians, Performers, Exhibitors and Restaurants take part in the
Fair. Join us for a very special artistic event! Highlights for this year’s Street Art
Fair include:
Children’s Area: The Children’s Emporium is a long-standing feature of the
event with all artists in the fair asked to donate at least one piece of art for purchase
by children 12 and younger, with prices ranging from $1 to $5 dollars. With the
goal of helping younger children to begin developing an appreciation of the arts,
proceeds support the Wyandotte Street Art Fair Committee’s youth fine arts
outreach program.
Entertainment: Visitors can enjoy an eclectic selection of talent in the Riverfront
Entertainment Area, both day and night. Street entertainment will showcase a
variety of local artists with unusual and eccentric skills.
Food: Enjoy the tastes from over 25 food vendors. Fair food and beverages such
as elephant ears, butterfly chips and fresh squeezed lemonade never disappoint!
Remember to stop into one of our many Downtown restaurants and enjoy a cold
beverage or a spicy Thai meal!
Retro Row: Put on your favorite tie dyed shirt and bell bottoms and join us near
the corner of Biddle and Sycamore for a blast from the 60’s past at Retro Row.
Featured artists include Carl Lundgren, well-known fantasy artist and rock poster
illustrator who has created poster art for seminal bands such as The Who, Jefferson
Airplane and Pink Floyd.
Non-Profits: Dedicated to fostering a community of active and responsible
citizens, the Wyandotte Street Art Fair invites local non-profit organizations to set
up displays showcasing the programs and services offered to help children and
families throughout our community.
Find “Art”: The official Wyandotte Street Art Fair logo, named “ART,” is one of
the earliest creative images representing the fair. Art’s likeness was found on an
early Street Art Fair poster in the archival collections of the Wyandotte Museums.
Every year, ART will be getting a new interpretation by a Fair artist. Once again
this year, “ART” will be hidden among the art. Find “ART” and bring him back to
the Information Booth to win an official “Find Art in Wyandotte” keepsake.
Clock Tower Crafters Show: Located on First and Maple Streets, the Clock
Tower Craft Show offers a variety of hand-made crafts and gifts.
Volunteer Program: The Wyandotte Street Art Fair is dedicated to promote and
expand community awareness of the creative arts; to offer the artist and visitor
alike the opportunity to meet one another in a hospitable and festive atmosphere;
and to stimulate a sense of civic unity and pride through the dynamics of cultural
understanding. By expanding our staff to include volunteers, we can continue
creating positive vendor, visitor, volunteer and staff impressions. Wyandotte Street
Art Fair Staff and Committee members are appreciative of our volunteers and are
looking forward to working with members of the community. Those interested
should contact the Volunteer Coordinator at museum@wyan.org or by calling
734.324.7284.
Sponsors: A Friend of the Fair sponsorship allows for donations at the $100 level
with benefits including a two-year membership and associated privileges, with
donor names listed on the website, swag bag, and a window cling to show that
they support the arts in Wyandotte.
