Kids art alley
Kids Art Alley is an art fair within ART on the GRAND that features work of 44 students in 5th through 12th grade. The young artists are on-site to talk about and sell their own creations. Located outside Huntington Bank at 33205 Grand River Avenue, this creative opportunity for kids has become a joy for shoppers of all ages.
See a wide variety of paintings, jewelry, crochet, drawing, sculpture, stickers, ceramic, linocut and wearables. Each artist must make at least ten art items that look like what they submitted in their application. The goal of providing this aspect of the fair is to provide local students with the chance to have real-life experience in applying to an art fair and selling their work to a real art-loving audience.
Young artists apply with images of their work, are juried through the ART on the GRAND team, and do business under pop-up tents throughout the weekend. Parents are on hand to help these young entrepreneurs.
The full program description and guidelines for artwork are in the free application. Kids Art Alley applications are open from August 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027.
This event is always on the first weekend of June. 2026 ART on the GRAND is on June 6 & 7.
Come check out their work on Saturday, 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.
