Winter Art Fair off the Square
to
Monona Terrace 1 John Nolen Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53703
While the summer art fairs downtown usually grab the headlines, the winter art fairs — here, the Off the Square fair from the Wisconsin Alliance of Artists & Craftspeople — have a number of things to recommend them. A) Indoors, bug-free, temperature controlled. B) Close to the holidays and conveniently held at just that panic moment when you realize it is November already and you have literally no presents for anyone. C) Just fun to stroll and buy, because, art! There’s also kids' activities and a silent auction. Hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Nov. 8 and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Nov. 9; find a brochure with more info at artcraftwis.org.
media release: The Winter Art Fair Off the Square is one of two juried fairs sponsored and produced by the Wisconsin Alliance of Artists and Craftspeople, Inc. (WAAC), a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation formed to promote and create contact between Wisconsin artists and craftspeople and the public. WAAC takes pride in having been created and operated by the artists themselves. Along with providing a market for exhibitors, we continue to educate the public about art and provide important one-to-one interaction between artist and buyer.
There is a Silent Auction on Saturday. For children 12 and under, there is a Young Collectors’ Corner where they may purchase art at child-sized prices without adult supervision on both days. All of the art in both of these areas are by exhibiting artists.
Patron Admission Fee: $5.00 at the door, children under 12, FREE
Winter Art Fair Off the Square Hours: Saturday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.; Sunday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
