- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025, the Morning Glory Art Fair is presented by Wisconsin Craft, whose mission is to enhance the cultural life of Wisconsin by supporting the work of artists and makers of fine craft. Shows like this rely on the help of dedicated patrons and supporters of handmade work. Supporters like you!
This year the show will be held on August 9 & 10 on the Plaza in front of Fiserv Forum in downtown Milwaukee's Deer District. We have a wide variety of needs throughout the weekend, including Friday. Some tasks are physical, some benefit from great people skills, while others tasks would be great for those a bit shyer or who work well alone. One of our most critical needs is for booth-sitters, where you keep an eye on an artist's booth while they take a quick break.
Shifts are generally 2-3 hours long, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the show before or after your shift. Bring a friend to volunteer at the same time and make the entire day a fun outing! If you register in advance, we can offer you free parking in the 6th Street parking structure just south of Fiserv Forum.
Volunteers are needed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday:
- help artists set-up and tear down
- traffic flow management (during artist set-up and tear down)
- greeters at show entrances
- booth sitters
- artist check-in
- staff the information booth
