What last year's artists said about us:

Communication was tops. Arrangement of booths great and breakfast was so...good. Easy load and unload. I thought I was dreaming! Sold a lot to very nice people. Milwaukee is wonderful! "
Very well organized. The show is about art; it is not a carnival with many other distractions. The breakfast is fabulous. A great way to start the day. Thank you for a great experience.
No music to have to talk over, art is the sole thing, no kettle corn or junk. You took time to meet everyone and check pictures against what was for sale. I saw no buy/sell (art). Just very well done.


Morning Glory also includes many amenities for our patrons:

  • 6a00e54fba8a7388330133ef9f8d59970b-pi

  • Zapplication won't post my photos for some reason... I've missed out on two shows now because of this.  I'd love to be in this one!  I'll keep trying! :D

  • This is a great show.  No buy/sell or production and good quality artists.  Parking is easy and the food is reasonably priced.  

    It is one of my favorites of the summer. 

  • This sounds great!  My parents lived in Milwaukee for over 20 years and I have fond memories of visiting them there, it's a wonderful place, terrific people...this would be a good show to do.
