Thanks: Oak Street Art Fair 2023

Picture
Artists and craftspeople made the event a successful exchange, on the street, between the works and the community. We, the collective Oak Street Art, appreciate all participating artists as well as all visitors. Gifted musicians shared their talents, and thanks to all the support and volunteering we received from family members, friends, the Logan Museum, and the city of Murphysboro.
We can say that on Saturday 29 we had a great 7th edition of our Oak Street Art Fair 2023. Thank you!

Getting ready, before 10am

Highlights (2018)

  • Since 2016, we have sponsored the annual Oak Street Fine Arts Fair, closing the brick street in the John A. Logan Historic District for an all-day party! 
  • Again in 2018, we had live music, food, and a great variety of exhibiting artists working in media such as ceramics, printmaking, painting, glass, metals-jewelry, sculpture, weaving, photography, leather, drawing, stained glass, and more. 
  • Children's Area with hands-on art between 11 and 3! We had activities scheduled at 11, 12, 1, and 2, with an ongoing Children's Mural.
  • Selfie Station outdoor photo studio with costumes and props! Post your selfie on social media using #oakstreetartgroup.
  • 32 artists + 7 musicians. See poster below for the full lineup.
  • Our first year, over 650 visitors signed in at the fair, and we had a nice crowd again this year.

 Hands-On Art for Children (2018)
