Wayzata ushers in its 20th annual celebration of the beloved Wayzata Art Experience on June 22–23. The festivities are set to unfold along Lake Street in the heart of downtown Wayzata (10 a.m.–6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Sunday). Over 20,000 attendees are expected.
The weekend’s main event will be the fine art fair, where, while enjoying live music, festival-goers can browse and purchase paintings, jewelry, pottery, photography and more from over 150 different artists from around the country. The following categories of art will be showcased: ceramics, drawing/printmaking, fiber, glass, jewelry, metal, mixed media, painting, photography, recycled/green, sculpture and wood.
Kids can get crafty with hands-on art projects in the Activity Zone. Be sure to explore the varied options at the food trucks and the artisan food market. Festival-goers will also have the opportunity to set sail from Broadway docks across Lake Minnetonka for free, courtesy of Wayzata Sailing.
“It’s a beautiful lakeside celebration of art, music, food and community. There’s something for everyone, and it brings out the art lover in all of us. The incredible talented artists who come to the show are amazing,” says Brooke Beyer, director of community events and marketing. “I encourage attendees to ask questions and get to know these artists … It’s fascinating, and, who knows, you might just end up going home with a treasure.”
