SUMMARY:Mammoth Lakes Open Air Arts and Crafts Fair
DESCRIPTION:Mammoth Lakes Open Air Arts & Crafts Fair \nMeet premier Western artisans against the majestic backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountains. \nMammoth Lakes\, Calif. — The 52nd annual Mammoth Lakes Open Air Arts & Crafts Fair returns from July 24–26\, 2026\, transforming the Kittredge Sports grounds into a vibrant\, free community showcase of artisan talent. The event features premier Western artists alongside Eastern Sierra creators\, set against the Sierra Nevada\, with live performances by local favorites Sandy and the High Country. This year’s featured artists include: \nEhi Obinyan (Painting) is an energetic and free-spirited artist who has developed mastery for the combined use of watercolor and gouache medium he calls “WaterCombo.” He is a product of the Art School of Painting & General Arts at the famous Federal Polytechnic college in Nigeria where he graduated with distinctions. Saddled with an infectious enthusiasm for life\, Ehi is eclectic in his chosen theme and distinct in style. Passion and zeal rule his brushes as he works with gouache\, acrylic and oil medium. Many of his works draw their inspiration from a reservoir of deep spiritual influences that stretch from the ancient Kingdom of Benin through to the modern tech world. \nNora Akino (printmaking) was born in Japan to a family of artists. “I have been creating art from a young age and studied drawing and painting in college\,” she says. “My work arises from a feeling I often have when encountering a vista of exceptional beauty – a longing to touch what is far away and mysterious\, that is perhaps universal.” Nora’s prints are almost always created in a single pass through the press\, so the inks are all applied to the plate at once before transferring to paper.  The images are created with brayers\, palette knives\, paintbrushes and rags using viscosity technique\, in which inks of varying viscosities (thick and thin) resist each other on the plate. \nAston Myer Photography is the spousal duo of Tim Aston and Dori Myer.  Their photography focuses on the endlessly diverse locales of California\, tracking seasonal cycles and exploring backwoods gems. They have lived and traveled up and down the state\, currently residing in Mammoth Lakes\, a prime location for accessing some of the most celebrated views on the planet. The couple’s goal is to share a unique vision of their beloved home state and also remind locals of the grandeur that is so near at hand to promote conservation and appreciation. As a science educator and a local history preservationist\, they seek to understand and share the intricate details of our country’s most prized landscapes and natural phenomena. \nCathy Enright’s (jewelry) passion for creating jewelry started with a love of semi precious gemstones\, and evolved into a passion for creating contemporary style jewelry using sterling silver\, copper\, and gold. The abundant natural beauty of her surroundings in California’s Eastern Sierra inspires Cathy’s work. Short walks near her Mammoth Lakes’ home studio and long hikes in the mountains supply her with plentiful ideas for pieces that strive to reflect nature’s beauty and forms. “What surprised me about embarking on this venture is how much joy I get from people buying my jewelry\,” says Cathy. “I feel so honored to be a part of the story of a piece of jewelry that is given as a gift\, or bought as a gift to yourself…to make you feel good. Because jewelry and gemstones do just that…they make you feel good!” \nEvent at a Glance: \nWhat: Mammoth Lakes Open Air Arts & Crafts Fair\nWhen: Friday\, July 24 – Sunday\, July 26\, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM daily\nWhere: Kittredge Sports grounds (Corner of Highway 203/Main Street & Forest Trail\, Mammoth Lakes\, CA)\nAdmission: Free\nHighlights: Original photography\, paintings\, ceramics\, jewelry\, woodwork\, and live music by Sandy and the High Country (12:00 PM – 3:00 PM daily)\nMore Info: contact Kittredge Sports at (760) 934-7566 or Pacific Fine Arts Festivals at (209) 267-4394 or visit https://www.pacificfinearts.com/.
