110 fine artists showcase works at 27th annual St. Charles Fine Art Show
The 27th annual St. Charles Fine Art Show, presented by St. Charles Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, will be taking place on Saturday, May 24, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, May 25, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Riverside Avenue (between Main Street and Illinois Avenue) in downtown St. Charles.
Throughout the weekend attendees will have the opportunity to view works of art from over 110 fine artists, all available for purchase during this free-to-attend event.
Individuals who spend $250 or more in art at the show will be eligible to receive two free tickets to the Arcada Theatre in part of the Artcada Purchase Program, sponsored by Onesti Entertainment.
Once a patron spends $250 on art, they will need to visit the information booth with their receipts to obtain the voucher. The voucher is valid through May 16, 2026.
On Saturday afternoon, 10 Fine Art Show exhibitors will be presented with an artist award during the awards presentation. These awards recognize the artist’s originality, technique, execution, expression, and overall impression of their art. There will be six Awards of Excellence, three Judges Awards, and one Best of Show Award given.
In addition to the juried art, visitors will be able to hear local musicians perform live at Flagship on the Fox and Pollyanna Brewing & Distilling and also have the chance to partake in an array of family-friendly activities in the St. Charles Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Activity Zone.
This zone will contain art-related activities, including painting a car, organized by the Pottawatomie Garden Club, and several hands-on art activities for purchase, organized by All Things Art Studio.
In addition to the juried artists, Fine Line Creative Arts Center will be located in the Feature Event, demonstrating the creation of a variety of mediums on both days of the event.
Back for the second year, attendees can enjoy an Art & Music Experience on the 1st Street Plaza from 1 to 3 p.m. on both days of the show.
During this event, spectators will be able to experience the fusion of art and music, as artist Alex Puryear brings the rhythm to life on canvas. He will be creating works of art alongside the musical groups John Wesley Experience on Saturday, and alongside 13 Days on Sunday.
