Art Fair

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. The artists are nationally recognized and the crowd returns yearly for the experience. 
 

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 $10,000 in prizes, sponsored in part by the City of Sunset Hills, to those artists achieving excellence.

In addition to the artwork, food and drink from a variety of vendors is available and two stages provide exciting adult and children’s entertainment. Creation Location provides hands-on art activities for children and demonstrations by both performing and visual artists.
