Before you book

Public gift, food and craft shopping show; tickets sold at the door. Selected editions also offer online admission until noon Thursday before the show.

Check the official page for current prices, availability, registration deadlines and what each pass includes. A general entry pass may not cover every activity. Price and professional eligibility are separate: free registration can still require industry credentials.

Choose your collecting priorities

Decide whether you want original work, prints, materials, tools or demonstrations. Note the sizes and spaces you are buying for, and bring photographs or measurements when they will help an exhibitor understand your needs.

Ask about the work and its care

Ask the maker about materials, process, edition information and care instructions. Confirm what is included with a purchase, how fragile work will be packed and whether delivery is available. Ask permission before photographing artwork.

Build time around demonstrations

Check the organizer’s schedule for classes or demonstrations and whether they require separate registration or materials. Leave enough time to revisit an artist after viewing the rest of the floor.

Getting there and moving around

Your listed destination is Jackson County Fairgrounds in Jackson, MI. Confirm the correct building, entrance, parking, public transport and accessibility arrangements with the venue and organizer. Large venues may host several unrelated events on the same day. Allow time for check-in and walking from the entrance to your first stop.
