I just received word on Friday that I was accepted to have a sales booth again in the Art Sales Tent at Festival of the Arts 2008.
Festival is the largest all-volunteer arts event in the nation! It’s a three-day arts celebration, held the first full weekend in June in downtown Grand Rapids.
It encompasses almost all of downtown Grand Rapids with six performance stages; lots and lots of food booths offering ethnic delights of all kinds; singers, dancers, thespians, visual artists, and performers from all over West Michigan; more than 20,000 hard-working volunteers; and over half a million people in attendance.
Visit the Festival website for more information

West Michigan’s finest artists and craftspeople sell their wares, including pottery, jewelry, folk art, photography, handmade paper, metal sculpture, wood sculpture, fiber art, glass sculpture, watercolors, acrylics, and oils.
I will be offering greeting cards, boxed gift card sets, matted prints in a variety of sizes and new framed pieces. Check back – I will make a few more posts related to this event as the date draws near.
Be sure to stop by and say hello – and be sure you bring an extra shish-ka-bob with you…
Art festivals are so much fun. The different stalls, food and music. You get to see all the art works by different artists, all at one place. I would love to check out the Art Glass here.
