The 61st WYANDOTTE STREET FAIR JULY 13th – 16th 2022 The Wyandotte Street Art Fair is celebrating its 61st year through the four-day event. The Wyandotte Street Fair will be open daily from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm Wednesday, July 13th – Saturday, July 16th. The addition of the Wyandotte Social District will add dimension to one of Michigan’s largest fine art fairs, which attracts fine artists from across the state, region and nation. Over 200,000 visitors are expected to stroll along historic downtown Wyandotte and the waterfront to visit 200 fine artists, 25 restaurants and a multitude of local merchants.
Highlights include:
• Who is ART – This years artwork was created by Conrad Lustig - "Growing up in Wyandotte and participating in the Wyandotte Street Art Fair since 2019, I wanted to create something classic and iconic for the art fair poster this year. I chose to recreate Art and Dotte inspired by J. C. Leyendecker's Saturday Evening Post covers. His work meets at an intersection between idealized realism of 1950's advertisements most associated with Norman Rockwell and earlier simplified forms from the beginning of the century, spanning the golden age of American illustration. Even for those who aren't art history enthusiasts, I hoped with the simple design and colorful characters to provoke the same feeling as those vintage illustrations with a modern twist." "I love emulating famous artists' work as an exercise while creating my own work. I draw from renaissance and baroque art as well as modern realism and surrealism. My style keeps evolving as I find new wells of inspiration. “
• Wyandotte Social District - The Wyandotte Social District is an “open container” district created by the Wyandotte Mayor and City Council in August 2020. The Social District is a defined area with specific boundaries where patrons 21 and older can purchase and consume beer, wine or spirits in a designated common area outside the walls or patio spaces of the bar or restaurant from where it was purchased. Pedestrians can purchase alcoholic beverages from adjacent, licensed establishments and shop, sit outside, or walk around, while they remain within the commons area boundary. Only bars & restaurants with Social District Permits can serve Social District Beverages in specially approved Social District Cups. Wyandotte’s Social District will run daily from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm.
• Food - Over 30 fair food vendors and restaurants will tempt your taste buds with elephant ears, tacos, fresh squeezed lemonade and more!
• Entertainment - This year we will have many street performers along Biddle Avenue as well as a entertainment at Sycamore and Elm Street.
• Find ART in Wyandotte- Once again, this year, “ART” will be hidden among the art. Find “ART” and bring him back to the Information Booth at the intersection of Maple and Biddle Avenue to receive an official “Find Art in Wyandotte” keepsake.
• Children’s Activities – The 2022 Children’s Activity Area sponsored by Meijer, located at Sycamore and Biddle as well as the grassy lot, will feature an enhanced variety of arts and crafts and activities for young families.
