Northern Illinois Art Show
May 31 – June 1
Celebrating 54 years on the beautiful courthouse lawn in historic Sycamore, Illinois, the Kishwaukee Valley Art League will hold its annual Northern Illinois Art Show on May 31 & June 1. This two day juried show features 60 to 70 artisans exhibiting fine arts and crafts in a variety of mediums including watercolor, oil painting, pencil sketching, fabric art, woodworking, pastels, photography, ceramics, garden art, jewelry, fused glass and other three-dimensional media. KVAL member artists also offer a group exhibit with all media. The show is advertised in local and suburban newspapers, and local radio as well as online and website calendars. The Art of Giving raffle is a popular part of the show. Customers can win original pieces of artwork donated by KVAL members. The proceeds from the raffle supports KVAL’s philanthropy program. Each year, art students from the local schools receive monetary awards and are invited to exhibit and sell their work at the show. Admission to the show is free to the public. Musical entertainment adds to the show’s relaxing atmosphere and food is provided by the local Boy Scout Troop 33
