Cool! Starving Artists Fair Is Sunday

RACINE, WI — Will the weather hold out this year, or will it be as cool as local artist Deborah Lema's fossilized snowflakes, which will be exhibited during Racine's 50th annual family-friendly event.

The 50th Annual Starving Artist Fair will be held on Sunday August 6th from 9am-4pm, rain or shine, on the grounds of the Racine Gateway Campus (East Park) at 10th and Main Street. The Fair is a family friendly, free event that is sponsored and organized by the Racine Art Guild.

More than 100 fine art exhibitors will show a wide range of mediums including: photography, painting, printmaking, jewelry, woodwork, ceramics and more.

A popular feature of the fair is the Scholarship Raffle. For the third year the raffle will feature artistic accent tables created by the Racine Art Guild members. All proceeds go to the Guild’s Scholarship Fund. A creative table can be yours for a ticket donation of $2 each or 3 for $5.

The Racine Art Guild created and promotes the Starving Artist Fair to partner and support artists creating fine art, encourage local students through scholarship, and continues to broaden our artistic experiences and opportunities while promoting art appreciation in our community. Our wish is that you will attend and support this yearly event.
