Art is back!
The Glenview Art League's Outdoor Summer Art Show returns from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, July 24-25, at Lyon School, 1335 Waukegan Road, Glenview. Nearly 50 fine artists are expected to display their work; there also will be entertainment, face painting and henna painting, as well as a split-the-pot fundraiser raffle to replace the traditional silent auction. Proceeds benefit the Youth Art Fair in February and a $1,000 scholarship for a local graduating senior planning to major in art. For tickets, visit go.rallyup.com/glenviewartleague. Chicago Furniture Bank will be accepting gently used donations of wall art on Saturday; Rio Bamba's food truck will be on site on Sunday.

It's the way we jam

• Miss Jamie's Farm stars in the final Little Bearfoot Children's Concert of the season at 10:30 a.m. July 22 at the Gallery Park Amphitheater, 2001 Patriot Blvd. The popular music show for young kids and their families shares values from life on the farm through songs both new and familiar.
