THE 7th ANNUAL FINE ART FAIR MOVES TO DOWNTOWN DETROIT!


The 7th Annual Fine Art Fair returns to a new location, this year it will be held in the backyard patio at Detroit's Old Miami in Midtown. The Fair will feature some of Detroit's best artists showcasing sculpture, photography, fine art, metals, wood, textiles, ceramics and more!

Experience great art, acoustic music, and lots of cool drinks from their patio bar! Local artists, artisans,  music, and a grassroots community vibe is the focus of the annual event. Acoustic music will be provided by Bruce Farrell and the Laughing Madmen.

Saturday, August 11 from 11am to 8pm is the date and the fair is FREE to attend with free parking. 


The Old Miami is located at 3930 Cass Avenue in Midtown. Phone number is 313-831-3830.


Local visual art/artisans such as sculptures, jewelry makers, metalworks and paintings will be featured - not mainstream product vendors - in order to keep the integrity as an “art fair.” Some of the many artists and artisans featured are Zacariah Messiah's unique spider art, photographer Laura Grimshaw, Unique head lights by The Horse's Banana, and the organizer of the Fair - artist Julie Fournier - will also display her paintings from her Smiling Eyes Studio (juliekfournier.com).
