Michigan Arts Access created the Midtown Art Fair in 2022 as one example of our vision of an inclusive society where people with disabilities of all ages have equitable opportunities to participate in, learn through, excel in and enjoy the arts. This is an inclusive event, not a disability event. The Midtown Art Fair embraces inclusion and celebrates diversity. All artists and musicians are encouraged to get involved!
2023 Midtown Art Fair
Date: Sunday, July 16, 2023
Hours: 1:00 – 6:00 pm
Location: 111 East Kirby St., Detroit, MI 48202
The event is held on the corner of Kirby St. and John R in the heart of Detroit’s Cultural Center and will host 40 visual artist booths representing a wide variety of media. The Midtown Art Fair adds a performance stage this year, with a diverse lineup of musicians, as well as the return of Detroit legend, DJ Bruce Bailey. Visitors will also be able to participate in the Art Action Experience with Detroit visual artist, Daniel Cascardo, and sample food from Detroit Public Schools Community District culinary programs, and Detroit’s own, Chef Taz.
This is an inclusive event and will feature traditional artists as well as artists from MiAA’s All Means All program for professional Michigan Artists with disabilities. This is a fully accessible event that embraces the diversity, equity and inclusion of all Michigan citizens. Come out and celebrate with us the beautiful mosaic that is Michigan’s creative community!
Michigan Arts Access is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and all proceeds from the Midtown Art Fair will go to support MiAA’s programs for children, youth and adults with disabilities.
