The Royal Oak Arts Council, a nonprofit 501(c) 3 volunteer organization, began more than 50 years ago to increase the visibility of the art community at large. The group and those it supports include artists – both fine and performing, students and art organizations in and around the community of Royal Oak.
The major focus of the ROAC has been to support local art organizations and provide scholarships to Royal Oak students. One of those partnerships is with the City of Royal Oak’s Recreation Department to present the Annual Royal Oak Outdoor Art Fair. Together we plan and present the Royal Oak Outdoor Art Fair, now in its 54th year. A nationally recognized, juried event, the fair draws fine artists from across the country to our beautiful shaded, tree-lined Memorial Park for a weekend of free family fun and entertainment.
The 2025 Royal Oak Outdoor Art Fair will be held on Saturday, July 12th & Sunday, July 13th.
The Council also works with the Royal Oak Public Library to feature local artists throughout the year. Works of art are on display in the showcase just inside the south entrance of library.
Donations and a share of the profits from the Royal Oak Outdoor Art Fair help us to support local fine and performing art organizations.
