The 74th Annual Kalamazoo Institute of Arts Fair is a beloved community event, featuring up to 135 juried fine artists, live entertainment, food trucks, family activities, and art-making demonstrations on the first Friday and Saturday in June. Each year, the KIA welcomes 15,000+ visitors to Kalamazoo’s Bronson Park to celebrate and invest in the arts by providing a platform for fine artists to showcase their creative talents and sell their work. Your support allows the KIA to continue to grow the Arts Fair by inviting more local artists, engaging more community partners, and encouraging more visitors to visit this great city. In 2025, we will expand our reach to increase opportunities for student artists, working closely with Kirk Newman Art School and our local educational partners. In addition, we will expand the family fun area with games and activities for all ages, creating a dynamic centerpiece that fosters joy and connection while ensuring that everyone feels welcome.
