    Description

    Support working artists! Volunteer at the 51st Morning Glory Art Fair!

    Celebrating its 51st anniversary in 2026, 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 May 30 & 31 on the grounds of Marcus Performing Arts Center. 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 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 parking structure just north of Marcus Performing Arts Center.

    Volunteers are needed on Friday, May 29th, Saturday, May 30th and Sunday, May 31st:

    • 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
