Featuring recent work by the members of the Copper Country Associated Artists (CCAA) and by 66 invited artists, the Fair will be held come sunshine or clouds, wind or rain or any other combination of the fascinating variables of Keweenaw weather.
This year the medium list includes watercolor and oil paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, quilting, fiber, pottery, jewelry, stained glass, basketry, silver, iron, copper, stone, wood, bark, computer assisted prints and other materials. Each work exhibited is original and presented by the individual artist who produced it.
Selected as this year’s Featured Artist by the Copper Country Associated Artists (CCAA), photographer Roger Little of Calumet will discuss and show his work both Saturday and Sunday. Retiring from the business of taking pictures for others, he is now able to apply his technical photographic skills as an artist discovering the natural world.

Concerning the perspective of a nature photographer, Little quotes his dad who told him, "'Anything that man makes, the further back you are, the better it looks. Anything that Nature makes, the closer you are, the better it looks.'"
