Celebrating its 55th year, the Edina Art Fair is coming back to 50th & France from June 3-5, 2022, after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a news release.
The outdoor Edina Art Fair, hosted by the 50th & France Business and Professional Association, features over 250 artists and crafters from Minnesota and across the U.S. It is held annually at the intersection of 50th & France, where an estimated 250,000-300,000 visitors can observe and purchase art, consume food and drinks, and listen to live music.
This year’s fair, which has the theme of “The Art of Community,” will be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, June 3, and Saturday, June 4, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, June 5.
The theme is intended to capture the importance and power of art in bringing a community together. The selected featured artist is the Indianapolis-based artist, H. Ward Miles, whose contemporary painting, “Here’s Hoping,” will be displayed on all promotional materials for the Edina Art Fair and shown at her booth.
Her artistic mission “is an attempt to take a world that can be so negative and find the light, bright beauty of our fragile existence,” according to the news release.
“’Here’s Hoping’ captures the sentiment that many have after two years of disconnection,” Max Musicant, director of the 50th & France Business and Professional Association, said in the news release. “H. Ward Miles’ work stands out for how she brings to life feelings of joy, new beginnings and a hopeful future. Being together once again for this iconic event is definitely a hope-filled new start.”
H. Ward Miles will be located at booth 400.
The Edina Art Fair will spotlight three local “emerging artists” who have been making an impact with their work – Inkpa Mani, Samuel Fleming and Teeko Yang. Featured “emerging artists” will be an annual part of the Edina Art Fair moving forward. Booths are sponsored by Buhl Investors. Read More...
