The Racine Art Guild’s Starving Artist Fair is held the first Sunday of August. This juried fair features the work of over 130 artists. The Fair is always a showcase for Racine’s well-known status as an arts community. One quarter of the artists come from Racine county—the remainder of the talent comes to Racine from throughout the Midwest. Nearly every medium of original art is represented in show, including painting, photography, ceramics, glass, mixed media, metalwork, fine jewelry making and more.
