Elmhurst Art Guild members join nationwide Artists Sunday Nov. 29

The Elmhurst Art Guild is joining the first nationwide Artists Sunday on Nov. 29, the first Sunday after Thanksgiving.

Support your favorite local artists and give personal and handcrafted gifts this holiday season.

Thousands of artists and craftspeople across the nation will be featured in this inaugural event. Think of it like Black Friday or Small Business Saturday but for art.

Artists Sunday is the nationwide movement dedicated to supporting artists and recognizing the impact they have in enriching our lives, communities, and the economy.
