Art by the Beach in Suttons Bay

July 29, 2023

One hundred artists in a variety of mediums are about to descend on Suttons Bay this weekend for the 43rd annual Suttons Bay Art Festival. They’ll compete for four Best of Show slots among other awards, while festival-goers can shop the work of local and visiting artists alike. There will also be a community library book sale, food vendors, and a children’s area to enjoy. Proceeds from the event are invested back into the community through grant and scholarship programs, supporting local arts-related education projects like music and dance performances, artist in residence programs, and scholarships for local art students. The Suttons Bay Art Festival runs Saturday, Aug. 5, from 10am-5pm and Sunday, Aug. 6, from 10am-4pm at Suttons Bay Marina Park. (And if you can’t make it this weekend, be sure to save the date for their M22 Art2Art fall tour, which features ceramics, painting, furniture, and sculpture work October 8-9.)
