Spend Labor Day weekend at the Third Ward Art Festival in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin! Free and open to the public, the 11th Annual Third Ward Art
Festival, in partnership with the Historic Third Ward Association,
will showcase the work of 150 juried artists from around the country
in a variety of mediums including ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry,
mixed media, paintings, drawings, photography, and more! In addition
to the incredible artwork available for purchase, attendees will be
able to interact with artists through demonstrations and booth chats,
and can even take part in “Start to Paint” on site painting
classes! Fun for the entire family, the festival features an
interactive kid’s art tent and face painting, as well as the brand
new “Kids Art Stops,” where artists invite children to stop at
their booth to learn more about the art-making process. Live music on
two stages, great food and drink options from neighboring restaurants,
and festival food vendors add to the fun vibe! The Historic Third Ward
Association will also be selling beer and sangria. With an array of
nearby cafes, pubs, theaters, galleries, and unique shops surrounding
the festival, guests are sure to enjoy an entertaining weekend full of
art and culture! The fest is wheelchair and stroller accessible, and
there is plenty of nearby parking. Dogs are welcome if they are
leashed and friendly. Attendees are invited to bring their gently used
art to the festival where it will be donated to the Chicago Furniture
Bank, a nonprofit that distributes furnishings and art to those
leaving shelters and moving into permanent housing. Several artists
from this show are participating in Amdur Productions’ Green Ribbon
Project. Artists place a green ribbon on a piece of art in their
booth, and if the piece is sold, 10% of the sale will be donated to
Amdur’s charitable partner, which this year is the Chicago Furniture
Bank. For more information, contact Amdur Productions at 847-926-4300
