In three short years the Midwest Fiber & Folk Art Fair has experienced phenomenal success, attracting over 17,000 people from 45 states and 4 countries to shop, learn, and celebrate the fiber and folk arts.

Why? According to a study reported in the Wall Street Journal, the fiber arts are experiencing a worldwide Renaissance, and 53 Million Americans are now knitting. 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. This year we expect 10,000 to attend the Fair.

Join us as a sponsor of the fastest growing Fiber & Folk Arts event in the country and become a part of this phenomenon!

We have two levels of sponsorship programs to offer: Corporate and General Sponsorship. For more information, or to purchase your sponsorship package, please email Carol Cassidy-Fayer or Jean Marie Saidler or call Jean Marie at (815) 459-3915.
