First held in 1958, the Rock County Historical Society’s Tallman Arts Festival is Wisconsin’s oldest art fair.
All artwork is juried, and artists from around the region will be on-site throughout the weekend to share and sell their handcrafted creations — with prices to suit a range of budgets.
Artistic mediums will include pottery, jewelry, paintings, mixed media photography and fiber art. The Janesville Art League will also host artist demonstrations and a curated selection of league members’ work will be for sale in the Tallman Carriage House.
In addition to exhibits from regional artists, festival activities will include food trucks, a beverage tent, children’s activities, and a silent auction.
