The Glenwood Avenue Arts Fest is an annual free, weekend-long event that features artists, merchants, open studios and live entertainment on two outdoor stages. Experience art, theater, music, as well as food and drink on the cobblestone streets of Chicago’s historic Rogers Park neighborhood. The Glenwood Avenue Arts Fest takes place on Chicago’s North Side, in the heart of Rogers Park, on Glenwood Avenue, 6900 – 7000 North (between Farwell and Lunt), steps from the Morse Ave stop on the CTA Red Line. Outdoor fest and many art studios are handicapped accessible. more

Artists of the Wall Festival is an annual event in June. Artists of all ages, skills and backgrounds will gather at Loyola Park between Pratt and Morse Avenues. Sections of the wall are marked off and “sold” to anyone and everyone who applies. Entry fees are $30 for a square. Application forms are available for adults and children, up until the day of the festivities. Adult artists bring their own supplies to do their work; a special paint-tent is available for children twelve and under. Whether you’re an artist or an art aficionado, come to Loyola beach. The Artists of the Wall Festival not only contributes to the yearly beautification of the break wall, but also bolster’s community activism and awareness. Residents of one of our most culturally diverse neighborhoods come together for a special weekend of celebration. They leave their mark on The Wall ­ collectively -- as one community! more
