Few, if any, cities can
boast of a more beautiful facility. Our art fair was
the first public event to use the
Exhibition Hall in
the Monona Terrace Convention and Community Center.
At times, the crowd is
elbow-to-elbow at this popular event. Some shop for
that special holiday gift, while others seek a treasure
for their own home.
The beautiful, well-lit
exhibition hall is an appropriate venue for our 140
artists and craftspeople. Not only can they sell their
art, but they have time to educate the public on the
varied styles and techniques used in the creative process.
Waunakee fiber artist, Anne
Alessi, had an attractive booth of knitwear and accessories
that invited customers to purchase something warm for
the colder months ahead.
Children may also purchase
artwork without their parents in our Young Collector's
Corner. Many artists contribute work of much greater
value for children to purchase for $3.00-5.00.
