A Fun & Festive Way to Support the Arts!
You love strolling the tents.
You love discovering new artists.
And you love taking home something truly special.
Masterpiece Money is a simple, feel‑good way to support the talented artists who travel from across the country to share their work in Fairview Heights, Illinois. These pre‑purchased art certificates can be used just like cash toward original artwork from participating artists at the Midwest Salute to the Arts.
Every dollar you spend goes directly to the artist you choose.
WHY WE LOVE IT… (and think you will, too!)
The Midwest Salute to the Arts is free to attend, but creating a vibrant, juried art festival takes a lot of heart (and help!). As a nonprofit, we rely on our community to help bring exceptional artists to town. Participating in an art show is a big investment for artists, and Masterpiece Money helps make their weekend a success.
When you purchase Masterpiece Money, you’re doing more than buying art, you’re celebrating creativity, supporting artists, and strengthening the festival you love.
HOW IT WORKS…
- Purchase Masterpiece Money before the festival or during the event
- Wander, explore, and find art that speaks to you
- Use your certificate directly with participating artists
- Head home with beautiful art and a great feeling
