Join me at a new-to-me event!! (I am not the event director. Sharing so my buyers know where to find me.)
The Racine Art Guild’s Starving Artist Fair is held the first Sunday of August. This juried fair features the work of over 130 artists. The Fair is always a showcase for Racine’s well-known status as an arts community. One quarter of the artists come from Racine county—the remainder of the talent comes to Racine from throughout the Midwest. Nearly every medium of original art is represented in show, including painting, photography, ceramics, glass, mixed media, metalwork, fine jewelry making and more.
2026 Event Details:
August 2, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
DeKoven Center, Racine.
Wisconsin Avenue and 21st Street (Caron Butler Drive).
In addition to the fabulous variety and quality of artists, we are looking forward to great food, kids’ art activities at Kids Korner, and music. Please also visit the Silent Auction (participating artists’ donated artwork), Racine Art Guild Boutique (participating Guild Members work for sale), and our raffle (Guild members donated artwork).
Approximately 5,000 visitors enjoy the beautiful park setting with views of Lake Michigan. The setting complements the featured art, entertainment, food, children’s art activity area and more. The event is free and open to the public.
Proceeds of the fair support the Racine Art Guild College Scholarship Fund which awards up to four $1,000 scholarships annually to local artists pursuing a degree in fine art.
