Edina Art Fair showcases over 250 artists the first weekend of June.
On June 2–4, the streets of the 50th and France neighborhood will be flooded with artists and attendees for the annual Edina Art Fair. This event showcases hundreds of artists, with creations ranging from ceramics, fiber art, jewelry and photography to sculptures, wood carvings, mixed media and more.
This year’s theme is The Art of Connection. Max Musicant, the executive director of the 50th and France Business and Professional Association, says this theme was inspired by this moment in time. “We live in a time when so many feel disconnected from each other,” he says, noting that art “serves as an important balm to heal our collective connective tissue. For the 2023 Edina Art Fair, we lean into and highlight the role that art plays to connect us to each other, our inner selves and the world around us.”
Attending the Edina Art Fair? Be sure to check out the three artists who were selected for the second annual Emerging Artist Program: Luz Márquez of Andaluz, Eun-Kyung Suh of Munee and Laura Merino-Franco of Primitiva Jewelry. Ben Cooney, who oversees the program, says, “The popularity of the program is a testament to the power of supporting emerging artists in our community.”
The fair also features live entertainment, a kids zone, craft beer gardens and a variety of food options. New to the fair this year will be a vintage clothing market.
