Artists
Every year, the Suttons Bay Art Festival hosts approximately 100 artists in fine arts and crafts. They come from around the country to the natural beauty of Northern Michigan and the beach at Suttons Bay.
Artists are juried into the show from the hundreds that apply. Four artists are selected each year as the Best of Show, win awards, and are invited back with their jury fee waived for three years.
Each year brings new and exciting art work to the show, balancing high-quality "favorite" artists with new artists. This page represents a sampling of artists who have participated in our show.
Artist applications are open January 1st - March 16th on Zapplication.
