A sunny Father’s Day weekend welcomed this cherished, two-day event presented by the Friends of Modern Art (FOMA).
Exhibiting works this year were more than 100 juried artists from Michigan and beyond in genres including ceramics, glass, painting, jewelry, fiber, metal, mixed media, photography, printmaking, sculpture and wood. In addition, local art groups including the FIA Clay Club, Art at the Market and Flint Underground highlighted local talent with artists in various genres in attendance.
The beer tent offered live music courtesy of FIM’s Music Around Town series, featuring Dan Devins and the Blues Delegation, and the ever-popular Rodeo Drive. Special Guest DJ Jeremy Fenech from CARS 108 radio kept attendees entertained until the live music began.
Another highlight: the great food! A variety of food trucks and vendors offered everything from fresh lemonade, kettle corn and hand-dipped ice cream, to burgers, fries, BBQ, empanadas, crepes and sandwiches.
Kids enjoyed free art activities offered throughout the fair, hosted by the Flint Public Library and by the Detroit-based non-profit, We Are Art.
From captivating art to live music, delicious food and family-friendly fun, the Flint Art Fair proved once again why it remains one of the area’s most beloved summer traditions.
