History of the Garage Sale Art Fair
The Garage Sale Art Fair was produced by Road Wife Productions LLC (Bonnie Blandford and Michael Kifer) for 15 years. Both Bonnie and Michael were art fair artists traveling around the country for years so they knew how to put on a fun show and what artists wanted! In 2023, Road Wife Productions LLC asked The Guild of Artists and Artisans (The Guild) to take over production of the Garage Sale Art Fair. The Guild produced its first season of this event in 2024 and is excited to continue producing this one-of-a-kind event!
