CANCELED--Art on the Riverfront Juried Art Show

 Saturday, August 15th, 2020

Grand Haven City Municipal Marina

Gallery  Uptown Board has made the difficult decision to cancel Art on the  Riverfront 2020.  Although we had the support of the City of Grand Haven  and had planned numerous alterations to the show this year,  we were recently notified of additional  restrictions from the Ottawa County Health Department that would make it  difficult for the show to go on.  These include barriers to the parking  lot and boardwalk, strictly enforcing one entrance and exit to the  show, and limiting the event to 100 people at a time (this includes  artists, artists assistants, and volunteers).  We tried to create a solution, but in the end we could not get  around the 100 person limit from the County.  While the health and  safety concerns for artists, volunteers, visitors, and area residents  have and will continue to be our top priority, the added limitations  made it impossible to manage a successful show.  

Gallery Uptown will feature artists  on our Art on the Riverfront social media pages to help draw  traffic to their work and their websites.  We  will be moving our 2019 award winners to "pre-juried status for 2021, however, everyone  else will have to re-jury.  

We look forward to returning next year on  August 21, 2021.
