Krasl Art Center is thrilled to celebrate the 61st Art Fair on the Bluff. Experience the talent of 170 artists from across the United States while enjoying the views and breezes of Lake Michigan and the charm and hospitality of St. Joseph at this ticketed event. Let our 300+ volunteers help you discover all the Art Fair offers, and please support the professional artists with a purchase to be enjoyed 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. 

As the largest fundraiser for Krasl Art Center (KAC), proceeds help make year-round free exhibitions possible. Learn more about KAC’s mission and programs in the 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!
