Park Forest, Illinois
Village Green and Main Street in Downtown
Saturday & Sunday 10am-5pm
80+ Artists
Deadline: April 30, 2025

Application fee: $35/Booth fee: $175

The Park Forest Art Fair is the second oldest continuously juried fine art fair in the Chicagoland region. It is an exceptionally artist-friendly fair with helpers to assist with loading and reloading, and distributing bottled water all day. A continental breakfast is provided both days and Board Members provide a wonderful dinner for the artists on Saturday evening at which time prizes are announced. The Board also added a healthy brown bag snack on Saturday since many artists could not take the time to visit the food vendors.

There are prizes totaling $3,000. Because Tall Grass is a not-for-profit and gets to know its artists well, it is sensitive to the impact of the costs of participating in an art fair. For that reason, it has kept its registration fee at $175 through Covid and beyond. Tall Grass feels it is especially important to keep the cost of the art fair registration low during the present economic environment. The Village is very supportive of the art fair. On Saturday, it will host a music fest on the stage in front of the Tall Grass Gallery. The village also sponsors several purchase prizes.

This year, the art fair plans to include a sidewalk art event. The arrangement has been varied to provide more space between tents.

Testimonials: 

To all the wonderful people who worked so hard to put together such a great art fair; I have always thought that you, at Tall Grass, accommodate the vendors most thoughtfully. Tall Grass art fair is a wonderful experience for participating artists, art aficionados and the Park Forest community.
Sue Wade, jewelry artist

The Park Forest Art Fair was simply amazing. I have never experienced an art fair such as this before. The attention and support given to the artists made one feel like royalty. I enjoyed the breakfast and was more than grateful for the spread that was laid before us for dinner. The award ceremony left me speechless. I have never experienced that level of appreciation for vendors at an Art Fair before. Wow!!! Is all I can say. 
Tara McGee, Bayete Jewelry Collection LLC

This Tall Grass Art Fair was at its best for a number of reasons. First of all, the weather was great! Secondly, art lovers found so much to love. Third, Tall Grass did an amazing job. Last, but not least, I made plenty of sales. Thank you, Tall Grass Arts Association.
Patricia Stewart

This was a great fair with enthusiastic shoppers and talented artists. Don Widmer, Paper artist

This longstanding art fair is small but extremely well run and always quality and diverse art. This year, sales exceeded all my previous shows, even with moderate crowds. I recommend this venue. Ellen Grenier Bevill, handwoven fiber arts

The Historic Shaw Art Fair is highly rated by artists for easy load-in/take-down, warm hospitality, a beautiful setting, hard-working volunteers and good sales. It is held in one of St. Louis’ finest historic neighborhoods — the Shaw Neighborhood. Stately homes along a tree-lined parkway provide a gracious setting for artists and visitors. A food court and live music, plus a children's gallery and activity area, round out the offerings.

The Art Fair will take place on the same weekend as the Best of Missouri Market at the Missouri Botanical Garden – typically held on the first complete October weekend each year – which is within walking distance of the Fair.

This outdoor event is held in one of St. Louis’ finest historic neighborhoods – the Shaw Neighborhood – next to the Missouri Botanical Garden. Two blocks of Flora Place in the heart of the neighborhood provide a shaded boulevard and median park for the event among architect-designed early-20th-century historic homes

Introduced in 2024, on-call booth sitting will be continued this year. Our artist housing program, with neighborhood residents, continues as well.

Last year, 118 artists exhibited at the Art Fair, which was attended by over 7,000 ­visitors. We hope to include 120 artists for 2025.

Testimonials 2024 Artist Survey Comments

Artist 1
I was impressed by the communication from the organizers from the start. The transparency and timeliness of the jury result was appreciated. My hosts were communicative and lovely and went above and beyond to welcome me. The ability to have free (and convenient) accommodation was a bonus as it helps the bottom line. Everything leading up was fantastic.

Regarding the show weekend, it felt as though there was seldom a lull – so job well-done on promotion. The neighboring artists were all lovely and seemed enthusiastic about being there. Didn't meet a single Debbie Downer, which is rare. I didn't get around to the 4200 block as I was solo (though I was offered a booth sitter), but the quality of work I saw was great. You can tell the crowd is used to high quality work and having offerings at a variety of price points. I have nothing but good feelings about how my weekend turned out.

Artist 2
I was so excited to be in the Shaw Art Fair! I have been in a few shows, Webster Arts Fair, Queeny Park, and Shaw Art Fair were my largest fairs. This year, Shaw has been my best show by far and honestly, I just love being part of such a wonderful event. The artists, patrons, and even the residents who live there were all so very nice and friendly which makes it such a wonderful experience for everyone!

I'm not sure of what improvements I would make. Being able to drive to your spot for set up and tear down is fabulous! Bathroom facilities are well spaced, and it seems that there were plenty of food vendors.

The 10th presentation of the Dahlonega Arts & Wine Festival is May 17 & 18, 2025 in the Heart of the North Georgia Mountains. Our artist applicants are juried for quality and creativity of their work. No commercially produced products are allowed.

We also provide Free Live Jazz performances and a Wine & Beer Garden with wines from the Dahlonega Plateau and craft beers. Admission is free and no tickets are needed in advance, as tickets are sold for wine/beer tastings, by the glass and by the bottle.

Check our Facebook page for news and information and photos of artwork by accepted Artists (after jurying is completed in late March). Profits from this festival go back to our community's non-profit visual and performing arts, as well to arts education for our schools.

The 2024 Dahlonega Arts & Wine Festival was Voted BEST OF GEORGIA for the Festival Category, as well as for the 2023 Festival! Each year, we feature a variety of musical performers along with some hometown favorites. We also include newly accepted visual artists in addition to some of our favorites from previous festivals. We are always looking for new and uniquely talented artists for this event.

Many of our artists tell us that our festival is their favorite event. They realize that we value them as individuals and as artists by the way we treat them and provide volunteers to bring them water and snacks, as well as "sit" for them while they take quick food or bathroom breaks!

Most of our production team are artists and know what is important to artist participants. For example, we always have three to four feet between booths to allow for three-sided viewing of artwork. This gives flexibility for the artists' setup.
