Poster Contest
NEW this year – GHAF Poster Contest! The entry deadline was April 1. Our 2019 winner was Ryleigh Zavesky from Peach Plains Elementary.
Host an Artist
We recognize that the Festival weekend is a busy one, and finding accommodations is a challenge. This program aims to pair artists with willing and able hosts in the Grand Haven/Spring Lake/Ferrysburg area.
As a host, you will provide an artist(s) a complementary place to sleep and shower for the nights of June 29 and/or June 30, nothing more unless you choose. Please consider hosting – it’s a great opportunity to get to know an artist and be involved in a wonderful community event!
