Summerfair

Each year the weekend after Memorial Day Summerfair returns to Cincinnati’s historic Coney Island. This, the 52nd year, the Fair will be held May 31, June 1, & 2 and will feature more than 300 fine artists and craftspeople from around the country, as well as regional performers, a variety of gourmet arts and the “Youth Arts Rocks!” area for kids.

What started as a small art fair’s salute to the opening of Cincinnati’s Playhouse in the Park has grown into one of the oldest continuous art fairs in the country, drawing more than 20,000 art enthusiasts to see and purchase the works of artists from across the United States and Canada.

Artists apply and are then judged, allowing only the “cream of the crop” to exhibit their art at the fair in twelve categories including photography, painting, drawing/printmaking, wood, metal, sculpture, glass, ceramics, fibers, leather, jewelry and 2D/3D mixed media.
