SUMMARY:65th Annual Eagle harbor Art Fair
DESCRIPTION:One of the Upper Peninsula’s longest-running and most beloved summer traditions returns this weekend as the 65th Annual Eagle Harbor Art Fair welcomes visitors to the shores of Lake Superior on Saturday\, Aug. 8\, and Sunday\, Aug. 9. \n  \nHosted on the picturesque grounds of St. Peter’s By the Sea Church\, the juried fair brings together approximately 70 artists representing 74 booths from across the Midwest and beyond. Everypiece offered for sale is original and handcrafted\, making the Eagle Harbor Art Fair a true celebration of fine art and craftsmanship. \n  \nUnlike many larger festivals\, the Eagle Harbor Art Fair is entirely juried\, ensuring visitors encounter exceptional quality across every medium. From fine jewelry\, pottery and ceramics to paintings\, photography\, stained glass\, woodcarving\, textiles and mixed media\, attendees have the opportunity to meet the artists behind the work\, learn about their creative process and purchase one-of-a-kind pieces directly from the makers. \n  \n“The Eagle Harbor Art Fair has become one of those signature Keweenaw traditions that people plan their summers around\,” said Visit Keweenaw Executive Director Brad Barnett. “It’s an incredible combination of nationally recognized artists\, local talent and one of the most beautiful settings you’ll find anywhere in Michigan. Whether you’re a serious art collector or simply looking for a memorable day trip\, this is an event that captures the creative spirit of the Keweenaw.” \nIn addition to the outdoor artist booths\, visitors can browse artwork created by members of the Copper Country Associated Artists inside the church\, including work by this year’s featured artist\, Jerome Patryjak\, whose mixed-media creations explore pattern\, texture and sculptural form. \n  \nThe Eagle Harbor Art Fair has been organized by the Copper Country Associated Artists for more than six decades and continues to be one of the premier fine art events in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Its intimate setting overlooking Lake Superior\, combined with a carefully curated collection of artists\, creates an experience unlike any other in the region. \n  \nThe 65th Annual Eagle Harbor Art Fair takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday\, Aug. 8\, and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday\, Aug. 9\, at St. Peter’s By the Sea Church in Eagle Harbor.
