3. East Lansing Art Fair
2015
On Sunday, May 17, I took a few hours to visit
the 2015 edition of the East Lansing Art Fair in
the city of East Lansing. Because the event was
so well attended and there were so many
exhibitors, the actual fair and celebration has
spilled across the street from East Lansing onto
the MSU campus along Grand River Avenue too!
The weather was great this year, the crowds
were happy and enjoying the many unusual and
beautiful paintings, sculptures, jewelry designs,
and music – stimulating to the senses in every
way.
If you did not get a chance to visit the Art Fair
this year, take a tour of this picture collage I
took of exhibitors, musicians, dogs, Spartans,
Jesus freaks, and lovers who did have an
opportunity to get away to East Lansing and let
their spirits and imaginations soar…
