we put together a fabulous, diverse, and dynamic market! The Fair is all about making people feel good about the work of their hands. You see, many of us learned our fiber art back when we were young. When you have been doing something since you were 7, or 8, or 10, it is easy to lose sight of its value. It becomes second nature when we spend a lifetime honing our skills. Conversly, those of us who come to fiber arts later in life tend to be self-conscious - we apologize for our work instead of taking delight in it. So, we have a Fiber Art Fine Art Show, Handbag Exhibit and a Marketplace that fuels our passion and delights our senses with both supplies and materials as well as finished goods. when: June
22-24, 2012
2012 market hours: Times: Fri: 10am-6pm The market is located in a 65,000 square foot AIR CONDITIONED event building. All booths are 10' x 10'. 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+. Our email/mail list is currently 5,000 strong and breaks down to: 50% IL, 30% out of state (we have 49 states represented...Do you live in Delaware? Sign up and make it 50!), and 20% email only. Last year we had folks attending the Fair from Spain, France, Canada and Germany, as well as those who come in from all over the country. If you would like to be considered for the market in 2012 and you have not previously been an exhibitor at the Fair, please fill out our contact form. We will email you our application and information for 2012. We generally send these out once a week. To keep up to date with Fair plans, sign up for our email list (it is NOT the same as the new Exhibitor list) and we'll keep you up to date. PLUS, your demographic information is helpful to us as we gain sponsorship. You'd be helping the Fair grow and we PROMISE that your information will be kept private.
