Planning for the 2025 Eagle Harbor Art Fair is off to a good start. In 2025 we are again expecting a large number of vendors At this time (August 28, 2024) we already have 53 vendors signed up for the Fair. There will be artists offering jewelry, photography, paintings, fabric art, ceramics and pottery, stained glass and more. Artists come from all over the Midwest and some even further.
In addition, the work of CCAA member-artists can be seen and purchased in the basement of St. Peters by the Sea Church.
2024 Featured Artist Donna Lenard says, “I love watching the paint run across the page when water is the vehicle. So many grades from dry paper to dripping wet for endless experiments”.
Donna grew up in Arlington Heights, IL and enjoyed art in high school. She moved to Rockland, MI Upper Peninsula in 1993, and started drawing birds.
Donna’s life dream was to live in Alaska so she moved to Fairbanks, joined the Fairbanks Watercolor Society and received good guidance as a fledging artist.
Donna was part of a very busy art scene in Fairbanks, Ester, North Pole and Denali for 9 years participating in First Friday events, juried art shows and galleries selling over 400 pieces.
She currently resides in Hancock, MI and participates in the Eagle Harbor Art Fair, the Poor Artist Sale, the Keweenaw Art Affair and Copper Harbor’s Art in the Park.
Donna also teaches her techniques to all who is interested in exploring watercolors. She teaches classes frequently in several venues in the Area.
She has recently been teaching drawing as well and hopes her work makes you feel tranquil.
Each year the CCAA selects CCAA members to showcase their work at the Art Fair. The Featured Artist in 2025 will be announced soon.
Despite the windy, rainy day on Saturday, the attendance at the Fair was very good. Many people came to look and purchase the treasure that they were seeking. Sunday was a typical beautiful Copper Country day. The weekend was a large success.
