Images from recent Art Fairs.
The first Chelsea
Painters Art Fair featured unframed paintings hung with
clothespins on lines strung between the trees. A nearby
sign read: "Paintings, $5 each".
As the artists'
skills have matured, so has the art fair. It's now
considered the premiere fine arts fair in Southeastern Michigan.
Over the years
the fair has grown into a much-anticipated annual gathering
where friends and art lovers from far and wide reunite after a long winter
indoors. And, of course, the main topic of conversation is
the award-winning art.
