In 6 short years the Midwest Fiber & Folk Art Fair has experienced phenomenal success, attracting over 29,000 people from 49 states and 6 countries to shop, learn, and celebrate the fiber and folk arts and the work of THIER hands.

Why? According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, as of 2007 the fiber arts are experiencing a worldwide Renaissance, and over 53 Million Americans are now knitting, weaving, or spinning each year...and the numbers are growing. 56% are between the ages of 18 and 34, and in the past 3 years, the 18 to 34 year-old segment has grown 150%. This growth continues. But we don’t stop there, unlike other events, we don’t specialize in one fiber art, but celebrate all fiber arts, thereby extending our audience and appeal.

Demographics: The Fair is located midway between Chicago and Milwaukee, and close to Madison, WI. The population base for this local area is 10,000,000+.

We now have THREE ways you can advertise with us!

1. Our program book is meant to be a keepsake.
