Lake Forest, Illinois
Market Square
Deadline - February 28
180 artist booths
Please join us for the Deer Path Art League's 57th annual Art Fair on the Square held in beautiful Lake Forest, Illinois. This festival was rated as one of the 100 Best Fine Art and Design Shows in the Nation by Sunshine Artist magazine (September 2010). Art Fair Sourcebook rated the 2009 Art Fair on the Square #78 of the top 600 shows in the nation for 2009, with 2010 rankings yet to be published.
Art Fair on the Square is the Art League's signature event and helps the League fulfill its mission to bring high- quality visual arts to the community. The community of Lake Forest is located 30 miles north of Chicago and is easily accessible by the Metra North Line as well as by car. The 180 juried artists set up around the Square and along Western Avenue in downtown Lake Forest. This centralized arrangement makes it easy for visitors to walk the entire show.
Artists are selected through a jury process after reviewing submitted images of their art. Last year nearly 600 national and international artists applied to participate in this event.
2010 participants included artists working in the areas of:
Ceramics, Digital Art, Drawing/Pastels, Fiber, Glass, Graphics/Printmaking, Jewelry-Precious, Jewelry-Non- precious, Metal, Mixed Media, Painting-Acrylic, Painting-Oil, Painting-Watercolor, Photography, Sculpture, and Wood.
Awards are given in each of the 16 categories as determined by the judges. Two special memorial awards, one for Photography and one for Abstract Art will also be presented. Awards will be based on the artist's entire presentation. Award-winning artists are automatically invited back to the show for the following year without jurying.
