Event Summary

Editor's Opinion & Commentary
This commentary was last reviewed/revised on 10/1/2023.
HIGHLIGHTS: This show draws its patronage from Detroit and nearby communities in Ontario, Canada. It is held in a mall and across the street from the mall, along the St. Clair River. Quality of the work at this show is wide ranging, from high end art to low-priced crafts. This market tends to be best for traditional representational artwork, or functional crafts. Layout has been improved; no orphans left out of the action. Convenient parking for exhibitors and patrons. Booth spaces are generously sized. Amenities: volunteer helpers, booth sitters, cont'l. breakfast Saturday + a very nice, full buffet breakfast on Sun. 
2021 WEATHER: FAIR!
CONCERNS: Sales were poor in 2021.  It does not attract a crowd that purchases high-end fine art.
