Indigenous Arts

The Palmer Park Art Fair is a juried fine art fair with artists from many states. We also include art from local groups ranging from Mint Artists Guild to the National Conference of Artists. Well over 100 artists.

We have dedicated Saturday to celebrating our country's Indigenous artists. Shop from artists from Michigan and beyond. Sign up to do a craft at the Indigenous tent.

Saturday our music and dance headliners are Joe Reilly and the All Nations Dancers

Our authors section includes local authors in many genres. While we focus on having books for all ages and interests our strongest representation is with children's books. The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators partners with us.

Some of our the popular performers from our Earth Tones series will be coming to the Art Fair this year including Tariq Gardner who headlines Sunday night. Saturday night at 5pm we have some fun with Ferndale's Electric Guitar Orchestra

We believe in getting our hands dirty and getting fully involved. Many of our artists have demonstrations. Some also give you a chance to try it yourself. Art in Motion will be leading art projects on site.

Our limited edition fine art posters continue to win awards. One third have been designated as "Years Best Art Fair Poster" by a national magazine. We work with some of the most talented local artists including Hubert Massey, Desiree Kelly and this year, Shirley Woodson-Reid.
