Business Sponsorship Opportunities
The Stevens Point Festival of Arts (FoA) has maintained a reputation as one of the finest art fairs in Wisconsin for 48 years in the minds of both artists and attendees.
More than 2,000 people attend this event and are spending time and dollars in our community. As residents of Central Wisconsin we are fortunate to attract a quality fine art festival of this magnitude to kick off the professional artist’s Fine Art Fair season right here in Stevens Point!

Thank you for the generous donation...

"Giving back to UWSP Fine Art Students is extremely important to me. I am a professional artist because of my experiences and education through the UWSP Fine Art Department. I received a Festival Award when I was a fine art student in 2004, and that money helped me make the leap into becoming a full time artist. It brings me pride to be part of the FoA Council today and to help support future artists here in my community."
