CALL FOR ARTISTS: 51st Morning Glory Art Fair

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
