St. Clair Art Fair 2026

The St. Clair Art Association, a 501(c)(3) non-profit established in 1971, will sponsor the 55th Annual Art Fair on June 27 & 28, 2026 in Palmer Park along the St. Clair River in St. Clair, Michigan. The fair will feature more than 150 visual artists exhibiting paintings, photographs, sculptures, woodwork, pottery, fiber, jewelry, and other original artwork, along with demonstrating artists. A total of $3,800 in juried cash awards will be distributed to artists.

All exhibited work must be designed and executed by the accepted artist, who must be present during the fair. Commercial molds, patterns, kits, and resale of purchased items are not allowed. Signed and numbered reproductions of paintings are acceptable but should not be labeled as prints. Consumables and artwork using trademarks or logos without express permission are not accepted. Artists must submit four professional quality images for jury consideration: three close-ups of artwork and one overall booth display. The jury process involves three jurors scoring applications on a 1-10 scale.

Booth fees are $250 for a single booth (15' x 10') or $500 for a double booth (30' x 10'), payable by June 1, 2026 after jury notification. The $20 application fee is non-refundable. Electricity is available in certain areas and must be requested during application. No stakes are allowed on the grass; artists must securely fasten tents. The St. Clair Art Association does not provide tents, tables, or chairs. The fair runs 10 am - 6 pm on June 27 and 10 am - 5 pm on June 28, rain or shine. Continental breakfast is available for artists on Saturday at the Art Center, and a buffet breakfast on Sunday at the Voyageur Restaurant (RSVP). Free parking is available for artists and visitors.
