]]> 2026 Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff https://krasl.org/event/2026-krasl-art-fair-on-the-bluff/2026-07-11/ Sat, 11 Jul 2026 13:00:00 +0000 https://krasl.org/?post_type=tribe_events&p=22205 Krasl Art Center is thrilled to celebrate the 64th 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.

]]> Intervals of Mark and Matter & Balikbayan Box Preview Party https://krasl.org/event/intervals-of-mark-and-matter-balikbayan-box-preview-party/ Fri, 14 Aug 2026 22:00:00 +0000 https://krasl.org/?post_type=tribe_events&p=22728 Opening this August, Intervals of Mark and Matter brings together the work of KC Crow Maddox, Karen Dana Cohen, Evan Mazzelan, Amelia Mendelsohn, Ivan Montoya, Thương Hoài Trần, and Antonio Scott Nichols. These artists approach painting as a site of translation where material, image, and lived experience converge. Drawing from personal and cultural narratives, the artists engage themes such as family, mythology, migration, and identity to construct works that feel both intimate and expansive. Across the exhibition, painting emerges as a living and expansive practice: one that does not simply depict, but questions, experiments, and reaches outward.
Opening in the Project Space, Krasl Art Center presents a new installation by Bella Kiser, expanding her exploration of soft architecture. Working within fiber, sculpture, installation, performance, and sound, Kiser builds environments that consider how ideas of home and identity are shaped through experience and space.
Join us for the Preview Party on Friday, August 14, from 6–8 PM.
