MILWAUKEE, WI – Amdur Productions, a nationally acclaimed art festival production company, announces its annual call for artist for its 2018 festival season. Celebrating its 35th year, Amdur Productions has produced many of the Midwest’s most respected and popular juried art festivals including Chicago’s award-winning Gold Coast Art Fair, Highland Park, Illinois’ Port Clinton Art Festival (also an award winner), and Milwaukee’s Third Ward Art Festival. This year’s art festival lineup includes 25 shows!
The Third Ward Art Festival, one of the country’s favorites, takes place September 8th and 9th. Milwaukee residents and art lovers throughout the Midwest have shown strong support for this event, which is celebrating its 7th year and has grown in numbers since launching in 2012. The Third Ward Art Festival is located just three blocks south of downtown Milwaukee, in the Historic Third Ward known as Milwaukee’s Arts and Fashion District. This upscale area boasts the city’s most dynamic array of restaurants, spas, theaters, galleries and unique shopping – attracting visitors from near and far. Wide sidewalks are home to numerous outdoor cafes, which are well situated for patrons to view the art with a back-to-back layout on the street. Original art in all media is welcome at this highly anticipated fest. From jewelry, paintings, and ceramics to sculptures and vibrant wearables, this show definitely has it all!
“The success of our shows is based on the quality of artists who participate,” said Amy Amdur, president and founder of her namesake firm. “We are always happy to see artists apply year after year, as many of them do, and we welcome those who apply for the first time,” she adds. “Art is definitely our passion,” she continues. “It makes the world a richer and more beautiful place to live, and we’re proud to offer so many opportunities for artists to showcase their work.”
