Third Ward Art Festival

 

September 5-6: Third Ward Art Festival
Milwaukee’s ninth annual art festival in the trendy Historic Third Ward neighborhood takes place over Labor Day weekend. Festivalgoers can browse works from 150 artists, then explore the area for shopping, pubs, theaters and galleries galore.

Amdur Productions, which organizes and directs some of the Midwest’s most prestigious juried art fairs, art shows and art festivals, is pleased to announce its 2020 season, the “Year of Perfect Vision.” This year’s programming includes 24 sensational festivals from the nationally acclaimed, women-owned production company, including crowd favorites such as Gold Coast Art Fair and Port Clinton Art Festival, as well as new shows for the team in Northbrook and Wheaton.

“My team and I are so excited to bring more than 20 art festivals to the Chicagoland and Milwaukee areas this summer,” said Amy Amdur, President and CEO of Amdur Productions. “We see each of our shows as an experiential escape from the everyday. Attendees are able to both meet the independent artists we feature and have the chance to see art being brought to life right then and there. It is truly a unique and interactive experience.”

Showing their great dedication to serving artists, Amdur Productions also operates an online selling platform, ArtZipper.com, which makes it easy for artists to showcase and sell their work year-round. All artists creating original art can apply to join the platform for review and selection by Amdur Productions’ esteemed jury of professionals. Those who have taken part in an Amdur Productions festival since 2014 are automatically eligible to have their own gallery pages on ArtZipper.com.

More than 1,000 artists are expected to show and sell their work through Amdur Productions events during the 2020 season. Art is classified into six categories:

–       Paintings

–       Non-functional 3D (i.e., art pieces, sculpture)
