About these shows:

-If you have juried for any of our shows in the past two years, no re-jury is necessary. Early bird fees apply till the application date then late fees apply.

The below Fine Art show portions of these events are organized by Valorie Schleicher, an Artist and Arts Advocate where we ‘Artists’ are considered a valuable member of our community and not ‘Vendors’. We celebrate the Artist and all forms of Art; we advocate all Artisans keeping your hard-earned money in your pocket.

These shows represent a Win-Win for the Artisan and non-profits hosting us. There is a minimal application fee of   $50.00 and a 10% commission on any sales taken go to the Non-Profit hosting the Artisans. These monies then get re-distributed within the community. Late application fees of apply after deadlines most shows are open till full. Some shows fill very fast.

We also showcase emerging Artisans and student Artisans within most of these shows.

The Little Red Store is now home to our Historical Society‘s new Wauwatosa Information Center.

A note from Wauwatosa’s Historical Society about our Little Red Store

- Wauwatosa’s earliest commerce and  architecture are vital aspects of its historical character. The Little Red Store is an important  survivor from Wauwatosa’s earliest history, having served throughout the years as a dwelling, the oldest remaining post office building in Milwaukee County,  a railroad station, general store, library, a place for political groups, harness shop, grocery, and plumbing shop. Many of the trades the building sheltered are things of the past that deserve to be commemorated for their contributions  to the development of  Wauwatosa.
