We bring two groups of Mint Artists to Belle Isle Art Fair – the Learn and Earn artists who show and sell their work and those in our Creative Summer Jobs program, who help the organizer with tasks such as arts and crafts or bringing artists snacks or breaks.
This fair is held near Scott Fountain, and it features more than 100 artists from 20 states.
Hours are Saturday, Aug. 3, 10-7, and Sunday, Aug. 4 from 11-5 (though it sometimes stays open until 6 if there are crowds)

Summertime seems better and more beautiful with a trip to Belle Isle. And Belle Isle State Park on a weekend with 100 artists, plus food trucks, tropical drinks and more, sounds like a slice of heaven.
So mark your calendar for Aug. 3 and 4 for the Belle Isle Art Fair, produced by our long-time supporter Integrity Shows. (Mark Loeb, Integrity’s president and founder, is also a co-founder of Mint Artists Guild.)
Mint Artists Guild will bring two groups of artists to Belle Isle. The Learn & Earn artists will sell jewelry, photography, duct tape and paintings in a shared tent. The Summer Creative Jobs workers will assist artists and may work on a creative art activity with guests. Hours are Saturday 10-7 and Sunday 11-5 near Scott Fountain.
