Features
Powderhorn Art Fair is a unique collaboration between the Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.
Run by staff and volunteers, art fair profits are used to fund programs at Powderhorn Park, such as a new teen center, a pottery kiln, a photography lab and a sound recording studio.
Set in this pastoral, 66 acre city park, one hundred eighty Main Exhibitors of varied disciplines and styles from across the country form a circle around the tree-lined, picturesque Powderhorn Lake. Other exhibitors include a Community Showcase and Group Exhibitors from the Powderhorn area.
Powderhorn Art Fair is also part of Minneapolis Arts Weekend, which is the first weekend in August. Powderhorn Art Fair, the Metris Uptown Art Fair and Loring Park Art Festival all exhibit simultaneously and will be connected with free bus service for art lovers to enjoy a variety of artists, locations and cultures that nourish Minneapolis neighborhoods.
In addition to great art Powderhorn Art Fair has acoustic music, good food and fun children's activities all weekend. This is truly a multi-cultural and family friendly event.
Attendance
An average of 30,000 people shop the art fair each year, also supporting other south Minneapolis businesses during the weekend.
