It’s never too early to shop for the holidays – or that special birthday, anniversary or graduation.
And what better way to prepare than to attend the second annual outdoor art show in Stony Lake the weekend of July 5-6, next to the Stony Lake Depot at 4189 Scenic Drive!
That’s when the Lake Effect Summer Art Show will convene, hosting at least 30 different artists and artisans, hailing from as near as Oceana County and a few from as far away as Ohio and Kentucky. The event is being coordinated by the Lake Effect Artists Collective.
“There will be an incredible variety of artists showing,” says Jan Jones, an artist in Stony Lake and one of the organizers. “Some are well-established, while others are just getting their feet wet. But this I know – there will be something for everyone.”
Jones and others founded the Artists Collective to bring together more and more artists from the Shelby area. What they discovered was interest that went beyond those environs, and all of them eager to show their wares at last summer’s inaugural show.
According to Jones, there will be potters, ceramicists, photographers, jewelry makers, candle makers, stoneware creators and painters specializing in watercolor, acrylics, oils and more.
Also for sale will be homemade macarons, as well as sno-cones and drinks.
The show debuts on Saturday, July 5, and runs that day from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. The next day, Jones is anticipating an even greater potential turnout – from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. – since on that same Sunday morning, Stony Lake hosts the Stony Lake Sparkler run/walk just down the road at the Stony Lake Inn.
Jones notes that there are still spaces available for artists interested in participating. For more information, text her at (616) 466-3699 or email her at: janjones387@gmail.com.
