ABOUT OUR SHOW
The Annual MSU Arts and Crafts Show is a seasonal tradition and beloved community event. The Winter and Spring Arts and Crafts Shows are fundraisers for the University Activities Board (UAB). All vendor booth fees proceeds go directly to the UAB. UAB is a group of student members and part time student coordinators that design and implement events, most free of charge, for MSU students to connect and build community.
Our show focuses on high quality "handmade" arts and crafts - no resell or wholesale - and is the perfect place to pick up a heartfelt gift for the upcoming holiday or bring some seasonal cheer to a loved one, all while supporting small business owners and MSU students.
Our Winter Arts and Crafts Show is located in the MSU Union, with over 125 vendors and 8,000 patrons over the weekend.
Our Spring Arts and Crafts Show is located on the MSU Union Grounds, with around 250 vendors and 40,000 patrons over the weekend.
Admission, parking, and entertainment is complimentary.
