2023 Art & Apples Festival include:
- The SMART bus system will be shuttling festivalgoers this year to and from Rochester High School at no charge (instead of school buses), providing greater accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
- Even more fun for kids! Expanding the Kids Art Zone, Oakland County Parks and Recreation will be bringing in more of its inflatable recreational offerings as well as a tie-dye station, bubble station, and oversized games.
- There will be new space for Plein Air Artists; 20 artists from the PCCA will be painting in outdoor open-air to showcase their artistry and sell their finished creations.
Art & Apples Festival is continually recognized for its popularity and the caliber of fine art presented. In 2022, it landed on the Top 20 Fine Art and Design festival listings by Sunshine Artist magazine—the only Michigan art festival in that exclusive category and coming on the heels of another prior distinction ranking the festival ninth on the magazine’s list of the 200 Best Fine Art and Design shows for the decade of 2010–2020. Particularly exciting for the arts organization, PCCA was recently named HOUR Detroit Magazine’s Best Art Gallery for 2023.
Now in its 57th year, Art & Apples serves as the PCCA’s signature fundraiser to support the nonprofit organization’s art classes for kids and adults, free art exhibitions, the Art Market exclusively featuring local Michigan artists’ work, summer camps, and community outreach through its Art Anywhere program. A suggested $5 donation per person will be accepted at each of the festival’s entrances; in turn, PCCA shares a portion of these donations with the other area nonprofits and community ‘gate groups’ greeting festivalgoers.
Art & Apples will open on Friday, September 8 from 2 p.m.–7 p.m. in Rochester Municipal Park and continue on Saturday, September 9 from 10 a.m.–7 p.m. and Sunday, September 10 from 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
