Third Ward Art Festival

Spend Labor Day weekend at the Third Ward Art Festival in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! Free and open to the public, the Annual Third Ward Art Festival, in partnership with the Historic Third Ward Association, will showcase the work of nearly 200 juried artists from around the country in a variety of mediums including ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, mixed media, paintings, drawings, photography, and more! In addition to the incredible artwork available for purchase, attendees will be able to interact with artists through demonstrations and booth chats, and can even take part in “Start to Paint” on site painting classes!  Fun for the entire family, the festival features an interactive kid’s art tent and face painting, as well as Kid Friendly Art Tent, where artists invite children to stop at their booth to learn more about the art-making process. Live music on two stages, great food and drink options from neighboring restaurants, and festival food vendors add to the fun vibe!
