Art and wine go together at Long Grove fest

More than 100 juried artists will set up shop Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 18-19, in historic Long Grove for the annual Long Grove Fine Arts & Wine Fest.

Hours each day are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission and parking is free and the fest is handicap accessible. Enjoy music and food as you peruse the artists’ booths.

Fairgoers will have the opportunity to enjoy and purchase artwork in a variety of mediums including acrylic, oil, watercolor, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, fiber, glass, photography, paper, wood, leather, metal and mixed media. Artists are professionally juried and judged with cash awards.

In addition to the artwork available for purchase, many of the artists take commissions and will make one-of-a-kind pieces. Original works have a wide price range, ensuring there is something for everyone.
