Over 75 artists will take over downtown Brighton, MI for the inaugural Brighton Street Art Fair next weekend, Aug. 23 through Aug. 25.
The weekend-long event will include art, music, food, art-making activities and fun. Attendees will have the chance to explore and even purchase the artistic creations of the over 75 jury-selected artists featured at the Brighton Street Art Fair.
The art fair will take place on Main Street in downtown Brighton.
“This newly renovated streetscape provides an attractive backdrop for a fine art fair,” event organizers wrote on the website.
An array of artists will be featured at the fair with creations to intrigue every eye, including paintings, jewelry, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media, digital art, leather, fiber/fabric, drawing, photography, wood, metals, printmaking and glass.
The Guild partnered with the Brighton Chamber of Commerce to bring the very first art fair to the streets of downtown Brighton.
