Winter Art Fair Off the Square 2026: Madison Show Guide

Winter Art Fair Off the Square moves the art-shopping experience indoors at Monona Terrace in Madison November 7–8, 2026. The 37th annual event is organized by the Wisconsin Alliance of Artists and Craftspeople and focuses on work made by Wisconsin artists.

A statewide view of handmade work

The prospectus describes approximately 135 artist spaces across ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, painting, photography, wood and other media. A Young Collectors’ Corner, Creative Corner and silent auction add activities beyond the main aisles. For a first artwork purchase, use the chance to speak directly with the maker about process, display and care rather than choosing only by color or price.
