The Art of Summer: 15+ Exhibits, Fairs, and Workshops in August
July 28, 2025
Northern Michigan comes alive in the summer, and so does its art scene. From shoreline towns to downtown galleries, creativity blooms right alongside the wildflowers. Whether you’re looking to soak up a gallery show, wander through a lakeside art fair, or get your hands dirty in a creative workshop, there’s something waiting for you around every bend.
This year’s lineup offers a mix of old favorites and fresh finds: plein-air landscapes, hands-on abstract workshops, and festivals filled with local talent. This week's Northern Express, sister publication of The Ticker, has your guide to this season’s exhibits, events, and creative opportunities.
The Northern Express is available to read online, or pick up a free copy on newsstands at more than 650 locations in 13 counties across northern Michigan.
