Art on the Fox: Algonquin, Illinois (4th Annual)

A fun-filled festival weekend is in store as Art on the Fox returns to the charming streets of downtown Algonquin on Saturday, September 7 and Sunday, September 8! Hosted by the Village of Algonquin, the fest will showcase the work of 60 of the top juried artists from near and far in a variety of mediums including paintings, jewelry, furniture, ceramics, glass, wearables, fashion, accessories, 3D art pieces, sculptures and more. In addition to the art, guests will enjoy live music, food and drink options at nearby restaurants, and a variety of activities for kids in the Kids Art Zone including face painting, a new self-portrait project, the very popular “Start to Paint” on-site painting classes, and selfie stations. Be sure to stop by the designated “Kid Friendly” booths where artists welcome children into their space to learn more about the art making process. Artist booth chats and demonstrations add to the experience, and festival goers with strollers and wheelchairs can enjoy easy access to all booths. Several artists from this show are participating in Amdur Productions’ Green Ribbon Project. Artists place a green ribbon on a piece of art in their booth, and if the piece is sold, 10% of the sale will be donated to Recreation for ALL-gonquin, a recreation scholarship program designed to provide Algonquin families with an opportunity to get their children involved in safe quality recreation programs that they may not be able to afford without assistance. Attendees are invited to bring their gently used art to the festival where it will be donated to the Chicago Furniture Bank, a nonprofit that distributes furnishings and art to those leaving shelters and moving into permanent housing. Admission to Art on the Fox is free and there is plenty of free parking. For more information, contact Amdur Productions at 847-926-4300 or visit www.AmdurProductions.com.
