43rd PARK POINT ART FAIR returns June 29-30, 2013 in Duluth

DULUTH, Minn. – It’s an event that evolved from a neighborhood gathering 44 years ago into the

region’s premiere outdoor visual arts showcase. And it’s coming to a sandbar near you.

The 44th annual Park Point Art Fair returns June 29-30 to the Park Point Recreation Area in Duluth.

Admission and parking is free at the nonprofit- coordinated event, which supports local

ecological and civic initiatives.

Featuring the juried fine art and craft of 115 premiere artists from the local area, upper Midwest

and beyond, the Park Point Art Fair also offers live performances, music, food, children’s activities

and more—all in a stunning natural setting. An estimated 10,000 visitors have attended the annual

weekend festival in recent years.

Artists display and sell work in media such as clay, fiber, glass, painting, photography, jewelry,

woodwork and sculpture. And while visual art is the showcase, there’s more to experience during

the fair, where you can stroll a pine-lined path tucked between Lake Superior and the Superior

Bay:

• Live performance area, featuring music by award-winning performer Michael Monroe

• Food vendors selling everything from BBQ and gyros to kettle corn and ice cream;

• A family make-and-take art area where visitors can delve into the fun;

• Artist demonstrations that offer a closer look at forming hot glass and other processes.

The art fair is presented by the Park Point Community Club, a nonprofit volunteer organization

“Each year, the art fair brings people together—as visitors, artists and volunteers—in a unique

setting on the shores of Lake Superior. Artists and patrons of the arts praise the consistently high

quality of this show, and appreciate that it’s a grass-roots effort for a good cause,” said Carla

Tamburro, Park Point Art Fair coordinator. “Park Point is an inspiring setting. And as a community

of volunteers giving back to sustain this environment, we welcome everyone to join us in celebrating

this Duluth gem.”

I knew the story about Fremont Township when I was doing research for the 1999 publication “Minnesota Point Environmental Management Plan.”  Zenith City Online just came out with this blurb on it.  Maybe it can be added to the blog…
