The Tall Grass Gallery will be open all day. The exhibit, in the gallery, “Explosive Impressions”, presents the works of approximately 60 juried, Tall Grass Artists. The Gallery is open to the public, free of charge.
Artists return to Park Forest for the art fair, year after year, because fair-goers have a reputation for stopping and chatting with the artists, something the artists love and that does not happen at all fairs.
So, come to the fair. Enjoy the wonderful art. Shop. See old friends. Enjoy yourself.
