Colors by the Lake, Oct 3 & 4, 2026

This boutique Art & Craft show will feature a maximum of 50 artists allowing for less competition, less crossover booths and more potential opportunities to connect with shoppers. The event takes place at Bayview Inn with no music, no booze and no food putting the focus solely on art, craft and unique gifts. The show is open Saturday & Sunday 10am to 5pm with setup Saturday morning 6:30am to 9am.

The focus is on handmade & artist designed items but the jury will consider unique/creative gift ideas, authors, inventors and designers for holiday gift giving. Artists are selected through a review of their work by a panel of experts. The organization accepts various categories including artist-made items, production/studio work, craft items, inventors, designers, and other creative concepts. Each event is juried separately and participating in one does not guarantee acceptance in future events.

Application fee is $15 with early bird pricing of $275 if paid before August 4, $325 if paid after. Artists may apply in up to 2 categories. All exhibitor tents must be white and booth spaces are approximately 10' wide by 10' deep. The organization encourages emerging artists of all levels and offers assistance with applying or booth setups.
