Mercantile Plaza is located at 211 N Franklin St, Suite 102, Port Washington, WI 53074

February 8 - February 22

We are very excited to participate once again in the Port Art Showcase in Port Washington from February 8 to 22, 2025.

The event will kick off at 10 am on Saturday, February 8th, at Mercantile Plaza with artist presentations of original works of art. 

Upon concluding all presentations at approximately 11 am, artists will be directed to a predetermined venue/business in downtown Port Washington, where their art will be displayed for 2 weeks. 

During that time, customers will be able to view and immediately purchase each piece via a QR code that takes them to the Mercantile Plaza website. 

You will be alerted as soon as your piece has sold. Checks for sold pieces will be sent to Bob Fesser for distribution to the artist. 

There is NO commission! 

Also new this year, you have the option to submit a 2nd piece that will be on display at Mercantile Plaza. 

If your piece(s) remains unsold as of Saturday, Feb 22, you can pick it up at the display location or donate the piece to Mercantile Plaza for use at future events. 

If you cannot pick up your unsold piece but would still like it back, please coordinate with Bob Fesser. 

We are looking for 25 to 30 artists to again participate.

The maximum image size is 12 x 12" or 11 x 14". 

If possible, have a "Port Washington" theme but what you submit is open. 

You will need to provide an easel or pedestal, if your piece is 3d, for display at the venue/business.  

You will NOT need an easel if you submit a second piece for display at Mercantile Plaza - they will hang the piece on the grid wall. 

If you have any questions, please email Bob Fesser at waysofwax@gmail.com
