  Krasl Art Center in downtown St. Joseph, Michigan collects and publicly displays contemporary sculpture. On our campus and throughout the community, indoors and out, you can engage with dynamic artworks by Dale Chihuly, Richard Hunt, George Rickey, and many more artists – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Explore KAC’s public sculpture sites and you will learn about more than art; you will discover the community in which it lives.

2022 Call for Artists

Krasl Art Center invites artists to submit an application to exhibit in the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff each fall. Applications must be submitted through ZAPP.

2022 Art Fair applications are open through January 24, 2022.

APPLY HERE

On behalf of Krasl Art Center’s (KAC) board and Art Fair Committee,  we wish to thank our community for a tremendous 2021 Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff.

Fewer artists (150) and smaller crowds (estimated 13,700 people) resulted in increased walkability, better visibility of artwork, and a safer event. The shift to a $5 admission and gated event (comp admission was given to all 91 people who made a request) was lauded by many, despite early social media naysayers. Artists travel from every corner of the country to participate; many experienced record-breaking sales. 

The cost of presenting Art Fair (approximately $130,000/year) is paid for by artists’ fees, and business sponsorships. Artists keep 100% of their artwork sales. Admission income this year raised $62,077 making this year’s event a true fundraiser for KAC, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit. Funds support year-round programming including outreach education, public sculpture, and free exhibitions. 

Proceeds also support planning the July 9 & 10, 2022 event, including an economic impact study and strategic planning. We invite you to join the volunteer leadership team and we welcome your continued feedback at artfair@krasl.org.

The 2022 60th Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff presented by 1st Source Bank Wealth Advisory Services will be held Saturday, July 9 from 9* AM – 6 PM and Sunday, July 10 from 10 AM – 5 PM.
