18th Annual Chicago Tribune Magnificent Mile Art Festival July 10, 2009

Voted one of the Top 100 Art Festivals in the country by Sunshine Artist magazine, this show is one not to be missed! Scenic and energetic, this art festival is set up in the heart of downtown Chicago, across from the NBC6 Building and in front of the Chicago Tribune Tower. Only our top exhibitors present their work at this show and the atmosphere of the bustling city makes for a spectacular event.

Two days are not enough for this festivals, it is extended to three days, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the sights and sounds of this city art festival. Like all Howard Alan events, the 18th Annual Chicago Tribune Magnificent Mile Art Festival is a juried show, which means each participating artist is hand-selected from hundreds of applicants to ensure a first-class festival with only the highest quality, original artwork.

All exhibiting artists are required to be at the festival the entire weekend, giving you the unique opportunity to meet the creators of the art on display; commission a specific piece; ask questions about techniques; learn the sources of their inspirations; and purchase fine works of art at affordable prices. All of the work on display is available for purchase, and with prices ranging from $15 earrings to $50 prints to $20,000 sculptures, there is always something for everyone.

Venue: Pioneer Court at the Chicago Tribune Tower, opposite the Wrigley Building and adjacent to NBC, WGN Radio and the river.

Free Event!!
