Artist Opportunities
MMoCA does not review unsolicited proposals for exhibitions or to review artists’ portfolios, but does offer several opportunities that connect artists with the community.
The best way to keep up to date on these opportunities is to follow MMoCA on social media at @mmocamadison and by regularly visiting our website.
Art Fair on the Square
One of MMoCA’s signature events, Art Fair on the Square features 400+ artists from around the country showcasing their creations around Wisconsin’s state capitol. Art Fair on the Square attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors and happens the first full weekend after Independence Day in July. Applications are juried by a panel of rotating judges and open in November the year prior.
