Art at the Glen Welcomes 185 Artists

Art at the Glen's 13th annual art festival returns Saturday, August 6 and Sunday, August 7 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., along Patriot Boulevard in Glenview. The festival features free admission and free parking for the public.

"Art at the Glen is delighted to return to The Glen Town Center with a wide-variety of artists and live music," said Amy Amdur, president of Amdur Productions. The Glen Town Center will transform into an outdoor cultural experience for people to enjoy original art, an array of shopping and dining."

Art at the Glen will also feature a new Amdur Productions charity initiative, the Green Ribbon Project. The project connects artists and the festival with an important non-profit at each festival. The program aims to marry art buying with the art of giving. Participating artists place a green ribbon on a work of their choice. When the piece is sold the artist donates 10% of the proceeds to the Special Olympics, which is the dedicated charity for the Art At The Glen Festival.

Rated as one of the top 30 shows in the United States by Sunshine Artist Magazine, Art at the Glen will line the streets showcasing the work of 185-juried artists from across the country in a variety of mediums, including paintings, photography, ceramics, furniture and jewelry.

In addition to supporting the arts and viewing incredible artwork available for purchase, festival guests will be able to have one-on-one conversations with artists through booth chats. Kid-friendly activities, such as the graffiti wall, and the youth art tent will give kids an opportunity to make clay masterpieces to take home.
