EVENT INFORMATION

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 10 AM – 6 PM and Sunday, July 10 from 10 AM – 5 PM.
