The Rock Financial Showplace is located in Novi, Michigan, situated in Western Oakland County, one of the nation's most affluent areas. Although 2009 marked first year for the spring and fall Great Lakes Art Fairs, the Rock Financial Showplace has become familiar to patrons as a premier indoor venue for specialty arts over the past ten years.

Attendance:

Over the past decade the Rock Financial Showplace has been host to premier indoor art fairs each year during the months of April and October. Attendance figures from these fairs have averaged in the tens of thousands.


This event has dedicated clients -- a determined customer at the GLAF arriving by medical transport!

Our mission is to deliver a high quality experience for patrons and artists that will assure qualified buyers, return visits and exponential event growth.
