Morning Glory Art Fair, Presented By Wisconsin Craft, Returns To Deer District Aug. 9-10

MILWAUKEE (May 29, 2025) – Morning Glory Art Fair, presented by Wisconsin Craft, returns to Deer District from Aug. 9-10 for its 50th annual event. The fair is free to attend and will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days.

Morning Glory Art Fair hosts more than 110 artists from across the country, using a competitive application process to ensure the fair presents the highest levels of art and fine craft each year. Artists submit their artwork and booth display for consideration, and the final participants are selected by a jury of art professionals. The art categories include ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, mixed media, printmaking, sculpture, wood, painting and drawing, and photography and digital art.

Morning Glory Art Fair is the first of two annual Wisconsin Craft events supporting independent artists. The MKE Studio Tour, which takes place each fall, provides an opportunity to meet local artists and explore their unique studio spaces. Wisconsin Craft also offers an online directory for people to easily purchase signature items from more than 85 artists.

More information, including volunteer opportunities, is available at www.MorningGloryArtFair.com.
