Art Fair on the Square

press release: The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA) is pleased to announce that it has tentatively rescheduled one of the summer’s most popular events, the Art Fair on the Square, for 9 am-6 pm on Saturday, September 25, and from 10 am-5 pm on Sunday, September 26. Typically taking place on the second full weekend in July, the Museum decided to delay the event this year out of an abundance of caution. MMoCA hopes Public Health Madison & Dane County and local officials will deem conditions safe to move forward with the 63^rd annual Art Fair this fall.

  Art Fair on the Square is MMoCA’s largest annual fundraiser and generates nearly $25 million for the local economy. It draws up to 200,000 visitors and some 500 artists to Madison’s Capitol Square each summer. More than 400 MMoCA volunteers support the event, which is one of the Midwest’s most popular and highly regarded outdoor celebrations of the arts.

Volunteer opportunities will be posted in July at mmoca.ivolunteer.com. To inquire about event sponsorship or food vending please send an email to Annik Dupaty, Director of Events & Volunteers, at annik@mmoca.org. MMoCA is not accepting artist applications for the 2021 event, as all of the artists who were originally invited to exhibit in 2020 were invited to exhibit in 2021 after last year's event was cancelled.
