The annual Downtown Art Fair is now accepting applications from fine artists and talented crafters to exhibit during its expanded 2025 event, taking place September 13–14 at Rotary Square in downtown Traverse City.

This juried two-day fair coincides with the inaugural Traverse City Mural Festival, offering artists a built-in audience of art enthusiasts and an immersive weekend of creative energy. Exhibitors will be part of a high-visibility event that celebrates visual arts across disciplines, set in one of Michigan’s most vibrant downtowns.

In addition to the art fair, the weekend will feature live mural installations in the Eighth Street Corridor and a community mural experience onsite, inviting the public to participate in a large-scale collaborative piece led by a featured artist or collective.

Artists selected to exhibit will be provided a 10x10 booth space in Rotary Square. The fair is designed to attract both collectors and casual shoppers, with a focus on quality, originality, and handmade excellence.
