The Edwardsville Art Fair is more than a weekend celebration—it’s a vital investment in creativity, community, and culture. As a free, non-gated event, the Fair welcomes thousands of visitors each year, removing barriers to access and ensuring that everyone can experience the power of the arts.

Sponsorship directly supports local and regional artists, provides hands-on art experiences for families, and helps sustain year-round programming through the Edwardsville Arts Center. By partnering with us, sponsors play a meaningful role in fostering artistic expression, enriching community life, and keeping the arts accessible to all.
