Artspire La Crosse

The Artspire La Crosse 2021 Art Fair and Sale is an opportunity to connect with the community through meaningful art experiences. Held during the summer, this primarily outdoor event is perfect for enjoying the weather and engaging in a community-wide event promoting local artists and the La Crosse area as an arts destination. Though the event will be a little different this year, the Artspire Art Fair & Sale impacts local artists, the community, and the city of La Crosse, and is a great event to safely support your community this summer.

Local Art and Artists

The Artspire Art Fair and Sale gives you a wonderful opportunity to support 45 different local artists. Each year artists submit their work and are accepted through a juried process. This year’s artists include painters, woodmakers, potters and ceramists, jewelry makers, sewers, crafters, sculptors, photographers, weavers, and cartoonists. You can visit the Artspire artist exhibits on Saturday, June 12th, from 10 am to 5 pm and spend time viewing the art, and even support an artist by purchasing a unique piece.

Art Fair & Sale

Artspire La Crosse 2021 is presented by the Pump House Regional Arts Center. The art fair and sale is the main event, highlighting artists and the community by engaging and connecting the two. This year, Artspire has been working hard with the La Crosse County Health Department to ensure the event will be a safe, socially distanced outdoor event for everyone. The event will be a little different from previous years to account for necessary changes to slow the spread of the pandemic. Please note that masks will be required for everyone and social distancing guidelines will be in place and enforced.
