2024 Artists coming soon!
Artist Application
Artist applications for the 2024 Festival are closed.
Emerging Artists
The Emerging Artist Program fosters and highlights the next generation of exhibiting artists by creating an opportunity for NEW artists to participate in a fine art show. New Artists are defined as currently enrolled in or recently graduated (within 2 years) from a Michigan university, college or art school. Consideration will also be given to artists without formal training who have never exhibited in a fine art show/festival.
Poets

The East Lansing Art Festival publishes a poetry journal to support creative, written expression within the community. A limited number of copies of the journal will be available at the festival, at other East Lansing Art Festival events throughout the year and upon request.
