SUMMARY:Backyard Art Fair in Ferndale
DESCRIPTION:A grassroots art fair solely promoted by the artists themselves. Located in the Ferndale metro area.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBackyard Art Fair was an idea created over a socially distanced coffee meeting in a backyard between Kelly Kaatz of Kelly Kaatz Ceramics and Carey Gustafson of Glass Action soon after one of the last summer art festivals was canceled for the season. The idea was to get a handful of experienced working artists and put together a free grassroots art fair that would get the community out in the safest way possible but also provide a chance for artists to show work that they have been making for the last six months. \nImage Source
