Arts Council again bringing fine art to The Promenade

New art gallery/ jazz concert series bringing a bit of Ravinia to Bolingbrook

The Bolingbrook Arts Council Commission is excited about a new opportunity to present fine art in Bolingbrook.

“Arts On The Row: An Evening of Jazz & Fine Art” is a three-part series of fine art and live jazz presented the last Friday of June, July and August at The Promenade Bolingbrook.

“We are so pleased to continue our partnership with The Promenade,” said Commission Chairperson Phyllis Erickson. “The success of our August 2018 Promenade pop-up gallery proved that Bolingbrook is receptive to fine art presentations.”

For 2019, the Commission is showcasing fine art, by local artists, in an outdoor art gallery and live jazz music in a Ravinia-like concert atmosphere.

“For each of the scheduled Fridays we are highlighting different artists and different styles of jazz,” said Commissioner Mithra Zaucha, the lead organizer of “Arts on the Row.”
