General Information

The Old Town Art Fair, selected as one of the top 10 art fairs in the country by AmericanStyle Magazine last year, celebrates its 63nd anniversary on June 9 and 10, 2012 as the charming, tree-lined streets of the city's historic Old Town Triangle District set the stage for 260 nationally acclaimed artists and an estimated 50,000 art lovers.

The artists, who will be featured in the 2012 Old Town Art Fair, will be selected by an independent jury of professional artists, gallery owners and museum curators. As with every year, the Old Town Art Fair will feature a wide range of art mediums, including 2D- and 3D- mixed media, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, and works in metal, stone, and wood.

The 2012 Old Town Art Fair will be held June 9 and 10, 2012 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., rain and shine. The main gate of the Old Town Art Fair is located at Lincoln Avenue and Wisconsin Street. The requested donation is $7.00. There is no donation requested for children 12 and under. Proceeds benefit a host of local youth groups, schools, and neighborhood preservation projects.

Other expected highlights of the 2012 Old Town Art Fair will include the “Gallery of Gardens (a garden walk through more than 50 urban home gardens)”, a music stage featuring local talent, a children's corner offering arts and crafts activities, and a food court populated by local eateries. Souvenir stores throughout the fair offer posters, t-shirts and other Old Town Art Fair collectibles.

To all of our exhibitors, patrons, volunteers, vendors and sponsors: THANK YOU!

With your support, we are able to continue in the spirit of the "Old Town Holiday," a popular event started in 1949 by the Old Town Triangle Association that invited artistic residents to display their work and collected 25-cent donations to raise money for improved living, working and recreational conditions in the area. Today's Old Town Art Fair is a great leap from neighbors hanging art on fences, but we're proud that the original intent and commitment are the same: children and community.

Looking forward to seeing you at the fair in 2012 !!!
