The 7th annual Harvest Art Market will be held on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Silver Maples of Chelsea, 100 Silver Maples Dr.

The event is free and open to everyone.

“But we’ve stayed true to our original thought that we wanted the show to offer really interesting items, handmade, and fair prices. So that’s the kind of artist we welcome and who finds the most success,” she said.

This year’s show features five new artists, including the natural stone and gem jewelry from Elegant Glitz’ Linda Wurtzel, the whimsical brooches of cats, dogs, birds, flower pots and more from Josephine Page, and the fun mixed media from Snarky but Joyful’s Jenn Millspaugh.

“Each year we seek out a couple of new artists and this year we specifically wanted to add something different. We’re really excited about these new artists. They an integral part of art fairs all over Michigan and clearly love what they are doing,” said Personke, who organizes the show with the help of the Silver Maples Art Committee.

The show also features entertainment by jazz/folk guitarist John Latini at 1:30 p.m.

Chef Tom Zigman will extend his Courtyard Café offerings with lunch specials.
