Arlington Heights takes early summer promenade art walk
The Promenade of Art Arlington Heights is scheduled for the second week in June. The free two-day outdoor event will be showcasing over 100 US artists.
The event will be juried and artists will be selling their original work. Categories include acrylic, mixed media, gold and silver, photography (black/white and color), glass and fiber. There will also be artists exhibiting in wood, oil painting, watercolor, metal and ceramics. Frank Franiak will be selling 2D digital, Michael Scoot will be vending his 2D drawings, and Gedion Nyanhongo will be selling 3D stone items. Festivalgoers will surely want to collect artists’ business cards for contacting them at a later date for custom work.
There will be live entertainment, and master artists will be giving live art demonstrations. Interactives such as Art Bingo, the graffiti wall, and a photo booth will entertain the crowd. Children can enjoy many art activities, and Arlington Heights restaurants will be onsite offering their drink and food specialties.
Landmarks is conducting a photo contest for Arlington Heights amateur photographers. Original pictures of local cultural, personal, historical, and aesthetic structures or landscape must be taken between April 1 and June 2. Winners will receive gift certificates to buy festival art items online.
The Promenade of Art in Arlington Heights will be June 9 and 10 from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm. Parking at the Metra Lot will be free.
