  Join us for the 51st Morning Glory Art Fair, one of Wisconsin’s most beloved and longest-running fine art and craft events, returning May 30–31, 2026, to its historic home at The Marcus Performing Arts Center in downtown Milwaukee!

  We invite artists from across the country to apply for this juried event that celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, and connection. Morning Glory is known for its beautiful downtown setting, professional organization, and strong artist community — making it a must-attend show for seasoned exhibitors and emerging artists alike. 

  With this return comes another exciting change: Morning Glory Art Fair will now usher in the start of summer! Join us May 30–31, 2026 — the first weekend after Memorial Day — the perfect time to welcome the season and celebrate the arts in the heart of Milwaukee.

  Why the Change?

  After seven successful years at the Fiserv Forum plaza, we’re excited to return to The Marcus Performing Arts Center, which has completed a full landscape and grounds revitalization — now featuring grassy areas, shade trees, and a welcoming pedestrian layout. The date and location change will be setting us up for even better timing, weather, and artist participation moving forward.

  Key Dates:

  • Application Deadline: February 4, 2026

  • Event Dates: May 30–31, 2026

  Let’s wrap up the year in festive Wisconsin Craft style — with great food, warm drinks, and even better company! ✨ Join us for our December Member Meet & Greet Holiday Party, an afternoon of connection and celebration with your creative community.

  We invite you to bring a dish to pass, because conversations are always best shared over good food and drink. We are grateful to our hosts, Ranch and Root, for welcoming us into their space, and to Buzzed Bean Coffee for providing beverages throughout the evening.

  This gathering also coincides with a local studio pop-up event for those last minute shoppers, and both Board Member Kipp Inglis and Marketing Director Sarah Weh will be in attendance. It’s the perfect chance to meet them, connect, and celebrate another year of creativity and community.

  Bring a Guest & Share the Creative Spirit

  You are welcome — and encouraged — to bring a non–Wisconsin Craft guest with you! Whether it’s another artist, a family member, or a supportive friend, we believe the arts thrive when more people are part of the conversation. We can’t do this work alone, and we can’t sustain a vibrant arts community without the support and enthusiasm of those around us. All are welcome to celebrate with us!

  Event Address

  The exact address of the holiday party will be shared in your Confirmation Email after you register for the event. Please be sure to check your inbox for all the details.

  We can’t wait to see you there!
