The Green Lake Fine Art Show returns for its 53rd year, continuing a beloved tradition for artists and art lovers alike. Mark your calendars and get ready for a weekend filled with creativity, community, and lakeside charm.
Set in the beautiful lakeside town of Green Lake, Wisconsin, this two-day outdoor show features an impressive variety of artwork from talented artists across the region and beyond. Stroll through downtown and discover paintings, sculpture, jewelry, photography, ceramics, and more—all while enjoying live music and great food.
One of the best parts of the show is the chance to meet the artists, learn about their creative process, and find a piece that speaks to you.
Why not turn your visit into a weekend getaway? Green Lake is home to Wisconsin’s deepest natural lake and offers plenty to explore. Stay at a local hotel or vacation rental, spend time on the water, catch a performance at the historic Thrasher Opera House, or extend your stay into Monday for the Tee Up Golf Outing at Lawsonia.
With art, music, lake life, and small-town charm, the Green Lake Fine Art Show is more than an event—it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and summer in Green Lake.
Support the show and help keep this beloved tradition thriving—art lovers are encouraged to donate and be part of bringing this event to life.
