Mundelein fine arts festival Sept. 10-11
Mundelein Community Connection announces the first Mundelein Fine Arts Festival, a juried art festival that will showcase the talents of dozens of fine artists and craftspeople in the heart of town.
The two-day event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10 and Sunday, Sept. 11, at Kracklauer Park, 100 N. Seymour Ave., and will feature top-notch artists, local musicians and tasty food. There is no charge for admission or parking.
The art fair was organized to underscore the importance of the arts for the community and to raise awareness of all that Mundelein has to offer.
In addition to professional artists, the Mundelein Fine Arts Festival will highlight artwork by select students from Mundelein and Carmel Catholic high schools. Part of the proceeds from the art fair will provide scholarship money for deserving local art students from both schools.
The Fine Arts Fair will also feature a full lineup of entertainment, including local musicians and entertainers, and Artists Talks each day, in which various artists talk about their current work and techniques.
