Visit Oak Park would like to extend an invitation to artists to apply for a unique opportunity to share their work with art lovers at Art al Fresco!

Each weekend, beginning May 19-20, 2012, the Oak Park Visitors Center provides an opportunity for juried artists to display and sell their artwork, at the entryway of the Visitors Center, located at 1010 Lake Street, in Oak Park, Illinois.

The Oak Park Visitors Center is located in Downtown Oak Park – a vibrant business district that attracts hundreds of shoppers and diners every day who are seeking one-of-a-kind items and experiences.  Art al Fresco adds an artistic dimension to the existing retail mix.

Art al Fresco will begin on Saturday, May 19, 2012, and will run every Saturday and Sunday through August 26, 2012.  The hours are 11am-4pm, and this event will be held rain or shine.

For more information and to request an application for this juried program, please contact Visit Oak Park at artalfresco@visitoakpark.com.
