FAIRS

Welcome!
As Governor, it is always a pleasure providing
visitors with another reason to visit Wisconsin
and this time I invite you to discover our arts.
This year will mark 37 years that the Art &
Craft Fairs Directory has provided an
invaluable guide to art enthusiasts, tourists
and artists alike and one that I hope you will
use again and again.
Travel our highways and discover a plein air
festival in Door County or folk art at the Paul
Bunyan Fest in Eagle River as we celebrate an
industry that not only employs 50,000 people
in our state but showcases a truly renewable
resource – creativity and imagination. Whether
you prefer music, fine arts or crafts in one of
our small towns or urban centers, you will find
it listed in this comprehensive guide.
Join us where the arts are alive and vibrant
and where our artists produce tangible
memories for you to take home after your visit.
Sincerely,
Scott Walker
Governor
