2014 ART& CRAFT FAIRS DIRECTORY Contents 1 General Information 2 February 2 March 4 April 6 May 11 June Welcome! As Governor, it is always a pleasure providing visitors with another reason to visit Wisconsin and this time I invite you to discover our arts. For 38 years the Art & Craft Fairs Directory has been an invaluable guide for art enthusiasts, tourists and artists alike and one that I hope you will use again and again. Travel our highways and discover a plein air festival, folk art and other creative pursuits as we celebrate an industry that not only employs 50,000 people in our state, but showcases Wisconsin’s originality and imagination. Whether you prefer painting, sculpture, fine arts or crafts in one of our small towns or urban centers, you will find it listed in this comprehensive guide. Join us where the arts are alive and vibrant and where our artists produce tangible memories for you to take home after your visit.

While works by Wisconsin Native artists can be rooted in tradition, it also has important things to say about the modern world and the future. Some Native Wisconsin artists take the traditional and lend it a new twist, for art is created in the present, not frozen in time. Going to the original source of art will always provide you with an experience – it’s where stories can be shared and mutual understandings grow. Here, you can learn from the artists themselves and celebrate Wisconsin’s history through its diverse culture. We encourage you to explore further.

The Art of Upcycling Before you throw out a ripped shirt, old sheet music, or a broken bike lock, stop and think about the possibilities. The Art of Upcycling is all about redesigning, re-imaging and repurposing items that would otherwise be thrown out. Maybe there are ways to create a purse out of the shirt, wrapping paper from the sheet music, or a sculpture from the lock. We live in a state that is rich in natural resources and promotes environmental-friendly communities. Upcycling is a unique and artistic way to preserve our resources by converting discarded materials into higher quality products like sculptures, jewelry, and clothing. Not to mention the added incentive of a positive environmental impact – items that would otherwise be tossed in landfills are recreated into useful products. Upcycling has been on the craft fair scene for decades as old paints tins are cut into petals for floral yard art and neckties are being sewn together to create skirts. Boutiques and shops have started specializing in upcycled goods that rival the quality of department stores but with an advantage of being one-ofa-kind, and as an added bonus they’re better for the environment!

The first Earth Day. Founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin to raise environmental consciousness. Wisconsinites continue to dig in to the Earth Day tenets of preserving the environment and enhancing our quality of life. That brings us to the notion of an ecofriendly vacation, a concept the Wisconsin Department of Tourism pioneered when it launched Travel Green Wisconsin™ in 2006. Travel Green was the first certification program in the country that went beyond accommodations to include tourism businesses of all sorts-events, attractions, restaurants, and everything in between. So if leaving a lighter footprint is important to you, then consider patronizing the hundreds of Travel Green Wisconsin™ certified businesses when visiting. Visit travelwisconsin.com for a listing. To summarize: Go green. Have fun. Rest easy.
