We
are one month closer to the warm months. It may not be too early to
think about deciding the art fairs in which you want to exhibit. Art at the Mill is a juried art &
fine craft fair to be held on July 23, 2016. The fair
is held outside nestled among the trees and surrounded by historical buildings
in the beautiful Richfield Nature/Historical Park (Washington County - Wisconsin.) Would you be interested in applying?
Amenities for
exhibiting artists:
- Ample space between booths
- Easy pull-up for unloading
- Reasonable $55 booth fee (before or on 4-1-16) or $65 (between 4-2-16 and 7-1-2016)
- Low jury fee of $10 (waived for returning artists)
- Bottled water for each booth (2)
- Booth reliever
- Free coffee/pastries during setup time
- Tickets for historic buildings tour located in the park
- Friendly staff
The
quality of our fair is
very important. The number of
like exhibitors will be limited to assure a good balance and variety. In
fact, we are not accepting applications for jewelry and wood artists as
our quota has been filled. For other media, be sure to apply early to
improve your chance of selection.
Advertising is also very
critical for art fairs. This event will
be widely advertised in print, broadcast & social media and promoted through
many local businesses. We want to reach as many potential attendees as
possible. Free admission to the fair and the extra benefit of being able to
tour historic buildings are attractive factors to encourage attendance.
An application form and
guidelines are available at:

with any questions.
