Held against the picturesque backdrop of the historic Victorian mansion and gardens of the Kneeland-Walker House in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, the Firefly Art Fair is more than just an art exhibition, it’s an immersive experience that embraces the spirit of community and fosters connections between artists, patrons, and history enthusiasts. We are excited to announce Waterstone Bank as our Presenting Sponsor for 2024.
