The Alden B. Dow Museum continues the tradition. We are pleased to present the 56th Annual Summer Art Fair. Since its inception, the Summer Art Fair has held a long-standing tradition of excellence as a premier fine art and craft fair. It is held outdoors on Main street of Downtown Midland, a community noted for its cultural awareness, appreciation, arts resources and artistic advocation. The city is the home and world headquarters to the Dow Chemical Company. As such, its population is augmented by educated, affluent, corporate professionals and a diverse range of citizens.
Traditionally, the Summer Art Fair brings in thousands of visitors and is highly supported by the local community. In addition to over 100 artists, the Fair features stages with local musical entertainment, a Children's area with lots of art activities, artists demonstrations, and great food! Admission is free to the public. Proceeds from the Fair benefit museum exhibitions, art and science classes, workshops, outreach and other educational programs of Alden B. Dow Museum of Science & Art, a non-profit organization. Our mission is to provide a forum to engage the people of mid-Michigan in the constructive and creative expressions found in science and in art.
