Art Fair at Laumeier

Art Fair 2010: May 7, 8 & 9

Art Fair at Laumeier is a nationally acclaimed fine art and craft fair at Laumeier Sculpture Park, one of the world’s premier open-air museums. Over 14,000 visitors – mostly families – attend the annual event, which is held on Mother’s Day weekend.

At Art Fair, visitors can choose from a variety of creative and original works of art from 150 artists from across the country. Available for sale are works in sculpture, clay, painting, mixed media, printmaking/drawing, new media, jewelry, photography, fiber, glass and wood. A highly competitive juried show, the art fair receives over 1,000 applications, of which 150 are selected to participate. Judges award a total of $11,000 in prizes, sponsored in part by the City of Sunset Hills and Artmart, to those artists achieving excellence.

In addition to the artwork, food and drink from a variety of vendors is available and you'll find exciting music and entertainment throughout the weekend. Creation Location on Saturday and Sunday provides hands-on art activities for children and demonstrations by both performing and visual artists.
