Fairtastic Poster Art Competition
2025 Fairtastic Poster Grand Champion
The 2025 Fairtastic Grand Champion artwork by South Milwaukee artist Lauren Marvell!
Marvell’s artwork bursts with fun colors and spotlights the vibrancy of young people soaking in all that the Wisconsin State Fair has to offer. This piece of art rings true to Wisconsin with a gigantic glass of milk surrounded by children experiencing their favorite Fair activities including eating the iconic Cream Puff, creating artwork, listening to music, seeing farm animals, and so much more. Marvell used mediums that are found in a classroom to bring out the youthfulness of her work including acrylic paints, colored pencils, and crayons.
Commemorative posters and postcards featuring the artwork will be available for purchase during the 2024 Wisconsin State Fair. Proceeds support the Wisconsin State Fair Park Foundation.
The Wisconsin State Fair Park Foundation was established in 1995 as a non-profit corporation with the mission of securing partnerships to support youth development programs, assisting with future planning and providing funding for capital improvements for Wisconsin State Fair Park.
