COMING THIS SUMMER!
Art in the Village, sponsored by the North Shore Art League will take place at Hubbard Woods Park (939 Green Bay Road) in Winnetka on June 22nd and 23rd, 2024 from 10 am – 5 pm. NSAL, the 100 year old arts organization located in the historic Community House, Winnetka is proud to promote this annual juried art show.
The park is a beautiful setting for a summer art fair - in the middle of the Village’s Hubbard Woods Design District. This boutique exhibition features artists from across the country showcasing their work, including oil paintings, mixed media, photography, sculpture, and more.
As an added attraction, on both Saturday and Sunday, NSAL faculty member and portrait artist Lisa DePinto will be on-site to paint quick oil portraits.
