Founder and artist Siouxsan Miller presents 14 years of the Ridge Fine Art & Handmade Wares Show! Located in Ferndale at the Drayton Avenue Presbyterian Church. This was a new location for the show last year and was a great hit! It supplied room to have additional artists, which filled up easily due to the reputation this little show has built, more parking, and a warm atmosphere! All of the artists are in one big room, which adds to the creative energy that this show embodies? The goal has always been to bring high quality affordable artwork in a intimate friendly setting!
The core intention has been to showcase Michigan artists by tapping into the creative talent around us. The venue is kept fresh and interesting by rotating in new artists each year and maintaining a nice balance of mediums. Some artists are veterans, having displayed their work for more than 25 years, while others are just starting out.

Every year both artists and customers share in the upbeat vibe that surrounds this show, making it "a must" stop to shop every November. It offers a wonderful opportunity to support local talent and find amazing unique gift items for the holidays. You are invited to the Drayton Avenue Church to see for yourself the creative displays and wares that make this venue a little gem not to be missed, a reminder to shop local and handmade!
