Many residents of Oakland County look forward to the summer, not only for the warm weather and vacations, but to visit art fairs and craft shows that take place in the various communities in the county.

These shows have everything from paintings and pottery,to jewelry, photography, metal sculptures, glass and more. Most fairs will display the works of both local and national artists, for you to view, and if you like it, purchase it (to the delight of the artist).

Below is a list of the fairs and shows that we know of in the coming months.
