Not in Windom Park but this opportunity with the Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association may be of interest to the many artists in our community!
***
The Powderhorn Art Fair will celebrate 35 years of vibrant community love and timeless craftsmanship in Powderhorn Park on Saturday and Sunday, August 1st & 2nd, from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM each day.
Powderhorn Art Fair is honored to spotlight youth artists in this year’s programming and partner with hyper-local community-engaged artist, Michael Hoyt, alongside over 200 exceptionally dynamic artists, a mouthwatering multicultural
food market, and dozens of beloved community partners. This year’s applications resulted in an incredibly competitive
lineup of artists and food vendors, ensuring a dazzling 35th anniversary celebration.
The Powderhorn Art Fair plans to enrich our unforgettable event this year by cherishing the resilience of community love and connection. We believe in setting up the next generation of artists for success by providing invaluable mentorship opportunities alongside other youth art organizations. This year, select Minneapolis youth with promising futures in the arts will be paired with established artists for mentorship and career development opportunities.
Michael Hoyt is a Minnesota-born artist who maintains a professional art practice, living and working in Minneapolis. Hoyt’s
creative practice includes drawing, painting, network technology, public participation, community land stewardship, and
more. He believes art and creativity can serve as a critical catalyst for social and political change by engaging people in
deliberative dialogue, illuminating concealed stories, building cross-sector platforms, and advancing agency and equity. In
2026, Powderhorn Art Fair is excited to collaborate with Hoyt to spotlight his art and activism through deeply thoughtful and
one-of-a-kind Powderhorn merchandise.
The Powderhorn Art Fair is delighted to showcase awe-inspiring, award-winning artists from the Midwest, revered local
businesses and arts nonprofits, visionary artist collectives, and eco-conscious upcycle artists who continue to inspire us through their sustainable artistry. Artist categories include clay, digital art, fiber, glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media 2D & 3D, painting, paper, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and wood. Prices vary, offering something for every enthusiast, experienced collector, and casual buyer.
Visitors will experience the joy of community connections, eclectic art in every genre, and irresistible cuisines from around
the world. The kid-favorite Family Zone returns with fun-packed, educational, and engaging activities for kids of all ages. The
Powderhorn Art Fair is thrilled to spotlight upcycle artists for the fourth year in a row, promoting sustainability and
environmental awareness through creativity.

The Powderhorn Art Fair is in continued partnership with the Renter Support Fund (RSF), a key program of Powderhorn Park
Neighborhood Association (PPNA), the host organization of this community-centered art festival. In response to increased
rates of eviction after Operation Metro Surge, the RSF aims to fundraise $750,000 leading up to the 35th Annual
Powderhorn Art Fair in efforts to maintain its expanded grant program of 60 monthly grants at $1,200 per individual. The
fund seeks to provide relief to cost-burdened Minneapolis renters through low-barrier cash assistance. This program has
been a vital resource for many Minneapolis renters facing housing insecurity. By combining our event and advocacy efforts,
PPNA aims to center community wellbeing through collective action and radical love.
The Powderhorn Art Fair is proudly partnering with KRSM Radio to provide an on-site DJ throughout the weekend,
complementing the vibrant art exhibits with the diverse sounds of the southside.
The fair is FREE to the public.
