Madison Police Department is requesting that we station a volunteer outside the exit of the parking ramp on Wilson St. This volunteer will wear a vest and remind drivers to exit to the East, toward King Street. (For the duration of our Art Fair, East Wilson will become two-way and West Wilson will be closed to everyone except artists and patrons of the Hilton and The Madison Club.) Signage and barricades should make this change abundantly clear, though some drivers may still be confused. Having a volunteer stationed here to direct will greatly increase the safety of our art-distracted patrons crossing Wilson Street. Shifts are two hours long.

Your efforts will go towards the Art Fair Off the Square. This annual event attracts over 200,000 thousand visitors from around the region.

There will be a short virtual orientation the week before.
Bottled water will be provided and you're welcome to bring your own.
Volunteers who work more than a 4-hour shift will receive a t-shirt.
Suggested to take a bus, public car, or bike to downtown.

Mission Statement

The annual Art Fair Off the Square and Winter Art Fair Off the Square are the two juried fairs sponsored and produced by the Wisconsin Alliance of Artists and Craftspeople, Inc. (WAAC), a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation formed to promote and create contact between Wisconsin artists and craftspeople and the public. WAAC takes pride in having been created and operated by the artists themselves. Along with providing a market for exhibitors, we continue to educate the public about art and provide important one-to-one interaction between artist and buyer.

Description

The Art Fair Off the Square runs concurrently with the Art Fair on the Square (second weekend in July). More than 200,000 people are expected to visit downtown Madison during this two-day celebration of visual art, which has become a highlight of the summer season. The Art Fair Off the Square will be comprised of approximately 130 artist spaces.
