Missing those annual summer art fairs in Michigan this year?
 The new Michigan Holiday Art Fair shares the delights and creative finds of a summer art fair ONLINE this holiday season! It gives you the opportunity to buy gifts from artists who would have normally sold creative work at six Michigan art fairs.
 
Buy gifts this year (or something for yourself!) from nearly 60 artists and check out just once in the online cashier.

Artist demonstrations, virtual studio tours and art activities will take place nightly (daily on the weekend dates). Santa and Mrs. Claus and local musicians will pop in online too.

Each date between December 1-6, a portion of all sales will benefit one of 6 Detroit area nonprofits. People for Palmer Park day is Saturday, Dec. 5th so we hope you'll shop that day to support us AND some amazing artists.

Thursday, June 25th at Lola's on the Avenue 
Arrive 6:00-6:30pm, pitches start promptly at 7:00pm.
Cost only $5 to attend/eat/vote!

Magic of Art in Palmer Park (MAPP) - artist-led creative workshops - has been selected as one of only two projects that will pitch at Livernois SOUP. 

Detroit SOUP is a microgranting dinner celebrating and supporting creative projects in Detroit. For a donation $5 attendees receive soup, salad, bread and a vote and hear from presentations ranging from art, urban agriculture, social justice, social entrepreneurs, education, technology and more. Each presenter has four minutes to share their idea and answer four questions from the audience. At the event, attendees eat, talk, share resources, enjoy art and vote on the project they think benefits the city the most. At the end of the night, we count the ballots and the winner goes home with all of the money raised to carry out their project. Winners come back to a future SOUP dinner to report their project’s progress.

We need your support!

MAPP is proud to be one of only two presenters tomorrow night, so we're hoping you'll join us and show your support for our artist led workshops in Palmer Park!
