52nd annual Art Fair on the Square
The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art
Madison, Wisconsin
July 10 and 11, 2010
Art Fair on the Square is not only the single largest art fair in the Midwest, it is also rated among the best fine art shows in North America by artists from across the country, and by publications such as Sunshine Artist magazine. Furthermore, Art Fair on the Square is the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art’s most important annual fundraiser, providing crucial support for exhibitions and education programming. For two days, the eight blocks that surround Wisconsin’s beautiful State Capitol are transformed as artists, entertainers, vendors, and some 200,000 visitors come together to celebrate the arts.
RULES (truncated)
- Art Fair on the Square is open to all artists 18 years of age or older.
- All exhibited work must be original in concept, and must have been created by the accepted applicant. No work made with commercial kits, molds, patterns, plans, stencils, or prefabricated forms may be exhibited.
- Artists must be present to exhibit and manage their displays during Art Fair. Artists are limited to the booth space(s) they were assigned; booth spaces are non-transferable. Any artist who has not been juried into Art Fair, or has not paid the jury and booth fees, will not be allowed to exhibit.
- All sales will be conducted between the artist and the purchaser. Participating artists must obtain a State of Wisconsin seller’s permit prior to Art Fair and must collect and pay Wisconsin sales tax on all sales made during the fair. Accepted artists will not be permitted to exhibit until this permit number has been recorded.
