72 YEARS OF ART. ONE EXTRAORDINARY SUMMER WEEKEND.
As Emberlight Festival brings performances, film, and music to the Northwoods, the Range Art Association’s beloved Annual Show & Market returns to the historic Ironwood Memorial Building for another vibrant celebration of regional creativity.
From August 20–22, 2026, audiences can explore a dynamic showcase of fine art, handcrafted works, emerging young artists, and one-of-a-kind treasures created throughout the Upper Midwest. Spanning multiple artistic disciplines, the weekend has become a cherished tradition where generations of artists and art lovers gather together in the heart of downtown Ironwood.
This year’s event features the annual Art Show, Art Market, Youth Art Show, and Art Raffle — offering visitors the opportunity not only to experience exceptional regional artistry, but also to take a piece of it home.
And in celebration of the organization’s 72nd year, guests are invited to Meet the Artists on Saturday, August 22 from 12:00–2:00 pm. Enjoy refreshments, conversation, and a champagne toast honoring more than seven decades of artistic community and creative tradition in the Northwoods.
