8th Annual Orchard Lake Fine Art Show, Orchard Lake/West Bloomfield, MI
July 30-August 1, 2010

We have out grown our previous location, and are very excited to announce that in 2010, the event has a new and improved location in West Bloomfield, right down the street from its previous location, now with high visibility from a major road, Orchard Lake Road, between 14 & 15 Mile Roads, on a street that provides access for local businesses in the area and plenty of free parking! In addition Hot Works has teamed up with Charter Township of West Bloomfield which offers great community involvement! West Bloomfield, MI has been voted Money Magazine’s Best Places to Live! Same promoter, same jurors who ensure the event remains high quality, same great promotional and media campaign, same everything – except a different, superior location! For the last three years in a row, the Orchard Lake Fine Art Show was voted in Sunshine Artist’s top 100 art shows in the country, and recently won Art Fair SourceBook’s top 100! In addition, the Orchard Lake Fine Art Show has won many awards from Michigan Festivals & Events.

Voted in the Top 100 Art Shows in the Country 3 years in a row by Sunshine Artist Magazine.

Voted in the Top 100 Art Sows in the Country by Art Fair SourceBook! Winner of 5 prizes from 2009 - Michigan Festivals & Events Fun Awards.

Orchard Lake Fine Art Show focuses solely on the visual arts. While music and food are a part of the experience, they are not permitted to intrude in the relationship between Artist and patron. This is a quality juried Art show with about 175 of the Nation's finest artists. Many of these artists produce enough Art to do only a few Events each year. This may be their only Midwest appearance.

Our goal is to be focused, get the right artists together with the right audience so that each has a good experience. The Orchard Lake Fine Art Show is an upscale Art show designed to enhance all the aesthetic senses. Fresh flowers on every table set the ambience of this first class Art show. Children's Art activities abound include plaster Painting, tie-dye T-shirts, candle making, face Painting. Sculpture and Glass work demonstrations help you to understand the quality of what you see. The 4th Annual Youth Art Competition offer kids in grades K-8 to enter their art work to be publicly displayed and an opportunity to win a cash prize! Even the food is different than in the typical Art show. Hunter House, Mezza Mediterranean Grille and Alinosi Ice Cream assure you of quality and variety. We feature a variety of beverages and a comfortable tented seating area.
