Minneapolis offers an art fair weekend in Uptown and Powderhorn

Slide on some sandals and hit the pavement for two art fairs in the Twin Cities this weekend. The Uptown Art Fair runs Friday-Sunday and the Powderhorn Art Fair happens Saturday-Sunday. Now in its 54th year, Uptown boasts work by more than 350 artists working across media, as well as tons of food options, lots of musical entertainment and a culinary art competition. The Powderhorn Art Fair is set in the neighborhood's city park, with vendors setting up shop around the lake. Combine an art-viewing experience with a calming lake walk, and make it the most pleasant summer weekend ever. (uptownartfair.com and powderhornartfair.com)
