  Krasl Art Center (KAC) announced on April 30, 2020 that it will cancel the 59th Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff scheduled for July 11-12 in St. Joseph, MI.

  “Safety is Krasl Art Center’s primary concern in making this decision,” said KAC board president Susan Miller. “The safety of our 200 artists from around the country, the safety of our 50,000 annual patrons and of course, the safety of our more than 400 volunteers who make each year’s event the beloved community tradition it is.”
