More than 100 artists are taking over the Pearl District on Labor Day weekend to showcase their craft and skills.

If you love art in all its forms, you won’t want to miss Art in the Pearl. The annual event was started in 1997 by fifteen artists who wanted to showcase high-quality, handmade works in a welcoming environment.

Here are the details about this year’s event.
