The 54th annual Glen Lake Woman’s Club Art Fair will be held on July 15th, at the Glen Arbor Township Hall. The Art Fair features artists carefully selected to represent a wide variety of one-of-a-kind art pieces for sale including pottery, painting, textiles, woodworking, and jewelry.

Each year, thousands of people shop for that unique piece of art, either for themselves or for a special gift. The Art Fair is a family-friendly event with a large selection of treasures available across a wide range of price points. Food is available for purchase.

All proceeds from the Art Fair support scholarships for Glen Lake Community School students. The Glen Lake Woman’s Club, a 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1937 with the goal of fostering social, civic, and educational projects.
