WELCOME

Krasl Art Center is thrilled to celebrate the 62nd Art Fair on the Bluff, presented by 1st Source Bank Wealth Advisory Services. Discover the talents of 172 artists from across the United States, set against the backdrop of Lake Michigan and the charming hospitality of St. Joseph. Let our team of 300+ volunteers guide you through all the Art Fair has to offer, and consider supporting the professional artists by making a purchase that will be cherished for years to come!

The annual event predates Krasl Art Center (KAC) and is where our benefactress, Olga Krasl, developed a love for the artist community in Southwest Michigan. What started as a clothesline art fair in a local park has grown to be one of the top fairs in the U.S., drawing talented artists from across the country to our beautiful community. 

Additional event information, including our pet policy, is available on the Plan Your Visit page. 

Welcome, and enjoy. We look forward to seeing you in July!

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff commissions artwork for the commemorative design from an exhibiting artist. This year’s artwork was created by Chris Abigt and is titled The Pond. You will find the design on your Commemorative Pin, apparel, and tuck-and-toss bags in the Art Fair Merchandise booths.

Chris is fascinated by how colors and light interact, bringing her canvases to life through intentional exploration. Inspired by nature, she captures the unique details of places she’s experienced, blending realism with whimsy in her paintings. Using oil paint, Chris builds up layers to create depth and play with color and light, working on multiple pieces at once to keep her inspiration fresh.
