Lakefront Festival of Art

The mission of FOA, a support organization of the Milwaukee Art Museum, is to raise funds, used primarily for exhibitions and acquisition of art; to cultivate leaders and volunteers in support of the Museum; and to promote awareness and appreciation of the Museum and visual arts.

Milwaukee’s most artful outdoor festival returns to the lakefront for three full days of food and drink, music and entertainment, activities for children and adults, and what the Milwaukee Art Museum does best: showcasing world-class art for view and purchase. Lakefront Festival of Art is annually awarded one of the top art festivals in the country, featuring one-of-a-kind handmade works for sale by more than 175 artists, including jewelry, paintings, sculpture, home décor, photography, ceramics, wood, and more.
