The Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff is a historic and beloved event in Southwest Michigan. It began as a clothesline art fair organized in 1962 by local artists, including Olga Krasl, and is tied to the evolution of the art center itself. On behalf of Krasl Art Center, our community, and the arts, we welcome you to the 2025 fair!
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!
