Picket Fence art show

Aug. 9

The 24th Picket Fence art show, sponsored by the Richfield Historical Society and the Richfield-Hinckley Art Group, will be held on Sunday, Aug. 9, 1-5 p.m. in the Johnson Barn located in Richfield Woods Park.

This art event originated with Theo and Ana Marie Kirk who hosted a weekly art group at their home and restaurant, then known as the Danish Smorgasbord. The art group organized and held the original outdoor art show, known as the Picket Fence art show – where framed artwork hung on a snow fence – in the mid-1950s and 1960s.

While the event’s format and location have changed, admission remains free to the public. Original framed art, ceramics, photography, jewelry and fine crafts will be on display and offered for purchase at the show.
