St Clair Art Fair
| EVENT YEAR: |
2025 (submitted 07/02/2025) |
| Show Critique: |
This is a very well run show by volunteers in a picturesque setting. Solid crowds but with somewhat lower buying energy than other shows that I do. Logistically, a little bit of a carry or dolly in and out. A great buffet breakfast on Sunday morning. |

I’ve participated in multiple shows around the country and I have to say that this is one of the best Shows in Michigan. The people really liked my artwork. I sold 83 pieces. It’s not a record but very close. Thank you. |

Another great show. The only thing I would like to see is ports John's at the Palmer park arch area. Vendors at that end of the benching had to walk quite a way & then stand in line while our booth is attended by fellow vendor trying to manage their own booth. |

I don't believe there are fair organizers anywhere who treat their artists better than those of St. Clair Art Association. They've been doing this long enough to learn what makes people want to come back year after year. Everything about this show makes it our favorite. |

Great improvements this year...loved the orange cones for set up, made it easier. Loved the hand washing station too. I also appreciated the water delivery both days. Thanks for always improving your show. |
