Welcome!
As Governor, it is always a pleasure providing
visitors with another reason to visit Wisconsin
and this time I invite you to discover our arts.
For 39 years, the Art & Craft Fairs Directory has
been an invaluable guide for art enthusiasts,
tourists and artists alike and one that I hope
you will use again and again.
Travel our highways and discover a plein air
festival, folk art and other creative pursuits as
we celebrate an industry that not only employs
50,000 people in our state, but showcases
Wisconsin’s originality and imagination.
Whether you prefer painting, sculpture, fine
arts or crafts in one of our small towns or
urban centers, you will find it listed in this
comprehensive guide.
Join us where the arts are alive and vibrant
and where our artists produce tangible
memories for you to take home after your visit.
Sincerely,
17

Crafts make us feel rooted, give us a sense of belonging and
connect us with our history. Our ancestors used to create these
crafts out of necessity, and now we do them for fun, to make
money and to express ourselves.

Art Schools in Wisconsin
The pristine beauty of Wisconsin continues to serve as inspiration and muse to over 3,000 Wisconsin
artists. Whether it’s the rustic environment of the Northwoods or the rolling hills of southern Dane
County, Wisconsin’s landscape captivates an artist’s eye. Should a desire to experience the artistic
process first-hand awaken in you, one of the many schools found in Wisconsin can answer this call.
Retreat and immerse yourself in the creative spirit with one of these options.
Dillman’s Creative Arts Foundation, Lac du Flambeau: Dillman’s three state-of-the-art studios
host internationally known instructors. Expansive programs range from painting in encaustic, oil, or
acrylic, pastel, to photography, quilting, and writing. www.dillmans.com

fundamental, Jens Jensen founded The Clearing as a place where instruction is non-competitive.
Their folk school is a unique place where adults who share an interest in nature, arts or humanities
can learn, reflect and wonder. www.theclearing.org
Washington Island Art and Nature Center: A 1904 schoolhouse serves as the Art & Nature Center
(ANC). Whether hosting lectures on nature, or children’s workshops in origami, ANC is devoted to the

Indigenous or Native Art of Wisconsin
Native American art is about evolution. While works by Wisconsin Native artists can be rooted in tradition, it also has important things to say about the modern world and the future. Some Native Wisconsin
artists take the traditional and lend it a new twist, for art is created in the present, not frozen in time.
Going to the original source of art will always provide you with an experience – it’s where stories can
be shared and mutual understandings grow. Here, you can learn from the artists themselves and celebrate Wisconsin’s history through its diverse culture. We encourage you to explore further.
Morrow’s Native Art, Hayward
Artist and teacher Ramona Morrow of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and
Yankton Sioux, provides gallery space for her Cattail dolls along with numerous Native artists from the
Hayward area. Morrow’s offers a wide variety of “Hand Crafted” Native American art including bead
work, birch and ash baskets, headdresses, regalia, moccasins, cradle boards, dream catchers and
paintings. www.morrowsnativeart.net
Native Spirit Gifts & Gallery, Bayfield
Native Spirit Gifts & Gallery calls out to the traveler seeking fine Native arts. Located on the Red
Cliff Indian Reservation, this gallery offers traditional Anishinabe Ojibwe (Chippewa) art from the Great

bark canoes, dream catchers, quill boxes, books, and music. www.hawkdancer.com/nsgg.htm
Woodland Indian Art Center, Lac du Flambeau
Woodland Indian Art Center is home to a gallery featuring Native Woodland regional artwork as well
as a thriving cultural center. Both traditional and contemporary artwork is represented in its carvings,
birch bark baskets, jewelry, paintings and bead work. Additionally, classes, workshops and demonstrations in music, writing and dancing round out this center’s offerings. http://woodlandindianartcenter.

Chief Oshkosh Native American Arts, Egg Harbor
Chief Oshkosh in Egg Harbor has been an outlet for Wisconsin Native American artists for over 60
years. Roy Oshkosh, leader of the Menominee Nation, established the business as Chief Oshkosh Trading
Post on land once popular as a summer site for Native Americans. The gallery features works by watercolorist Dawn Dark Mountain of Madison, painter Mary Prescott, doll maker Judith Jourdan of Oneida,
and wooden flute maker Michael Farmer of Baileys Harbor. An amphitheater in back provides space for
performance art. 920/868-3240
Indian Summer Festival (September 11-13, 2015), Milwaukee’s Lakefront

Museum of Wisconsin Art, West Bend

NEKOOSA
DECEMBER 5
Nekoosa Area Hometown Christmas Arts,
Crafts and More Show
The Art of Upcycling
Before you throw out a ripped shirt, old sheet
music, or a broken bike lock, stop and think
about the possibilities. The Art of Upcycling is
all about redesigning, re-imaging and repurposing items that would otherwise be thrown out.
Maybe there are ways to create a purse out of
the shirt, wrapping paper from the sheet music,
or a sculpture from the lock.
We live in a state that is rich in natural resources and promotes environmental-friendly
communities. Upcycling is a unique and artistic way to preserve our resources by converting
discarded materials into higher quality products
like sculptures, jewelry, and clothing. Not to
mention the added incentive of a positive environmental impact – items that would otherwise
be tossed in landfills are recreated into useful
products.
Upcycling has been on the craft fair scene
for decades as old paint tins are cut into petals
for floral yard art and neckties are being sewn
together to create skirts. Boutiques and shops
have started specializing in upcycled goods that
rival the quality of department stores but with
an advantage of being one-of-a-kind, and as an
added bonus they’re better for the environment!
Nekoosa Community Center, Crestview Lane
9am-3pm

LET YOUR (ECO) CONSCIENCE REST EASY IN WISCONSIN
April 22, 1970. The first Earth Day. Founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin to
raise environmental consciousness.
Wisconsinites continue to dig in to the Earth Day tenets of preserving the environment and
enhancing our quality of life.
That brings us to the notion of an eco-friendly vacation, a concept the Wisconsin Department
of Tourism pioneered when it launched Travel Green Wisconsin™ in 2006. Travel Green was
the first certification program in the country that went beyond accommodations to include
tourism businesses of all sorts-events, attractions, restaurants, and everything in between.
So if leaving a lighter footprint is important to you, then consider patronizing the hundreds
of Travel Green Wisconsin™ certified businesses when visiting. Visit travelwisconsin.com for
a listing.
To summarize: Go green. Have fun. Rest easy.
