A backyard showcase of makers, musicians, poets + dreamers.
This isn't your ordinary art fair.
Unlike most others – it’s as a vibrant backyard pop-up event designed to help emerging local artisans, makers, musicians, poets, and cottage industries show & grow their talent as a business.
It’s a beacon of accessibility, breaking down the barriers that often hinder emerging creatives from sharing their gifts. As we reflect on our amazing third year, following a 2024 break, OUR commitment remains unwavering.
We are dedicated to building confidence, empowering artists of all types, and helping jumpstart those seeking to spread their wings within our local creative economy. Let’s lift each other up through community efforts, it the neighborly thing to do.
"i didn't know how or where to start selling my product, but by the end of the show, not only did i sell out of all product, but i have several requests to become a local supplier to others in the area."

for our artisan community, neighbors & fans
We have some important news to share about the PLYMOUTH unFAIR. This year, we’ve decided to PAUSE to address many unexpected changes and challenges. This break will allow us to refocus a plan for an even better event in the future.
Our dedication to supporting and showcasing the incredible talents within our community remains strong. This PAUSE is a step towards making the PLYMOUTH unFAIR even more special and impactful.
celebrating Connectivity
As you know, the PLYMOUTH unFAIR has been a labor of love, brought to life by two artsy neighbors, Erin Harvey & Carol Kendra. We’re excited that our co-founder, Carol, has accepted an amazing position as the COO of the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids. While we’ll miss her presence & influence, her achievements inspire us to continue building on our shared vision.
welcoming new neighbors
We’re thrilled to welcome wonderful new neighbors, including a fellow artist who is enthusiastic about continuing our tradition. Their excitement gives us hope for the future of our little unofficial pop-up artisan market.
heartfelt news
Collaborative spirit
Erin’s passion for artistic possibilities and community connectivity led to PORCH POP ART and the PLYMOUTH unFAIR. Through her role at Faro Imaging, she helps bring creative projects to life using advanced printing and CNC technologies. Make it happen; from stickers, magnets, prints, and yard signs to wallpaper, laser-cut acrylic, and SEG fabric lightboxes/frames. The possibilities are truly endless.
unite the tribe
We deeply appreciate your understanding and support through these transitions. We’re looking forward to collaborating with our creative community! Your creativity and spirit made the unFAIR extraordinary. Let’s connect!
