2018 Third Annual Fair

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. 

​All-Day Concert on the Oak Leaf Stage (2018)

We were thrilled to have an incredible lineup of musicians taking the Oak Leaf Stage for our 2018 fair: 

• 10:00 Kevin Lucas
• 11:00 Mike Wright
• 12:00 Beth Davis & Dakota Cummins
• 1:00 Them Two
• 2:00 Kathleen Shaffner

Thanks to everyone who joined us for seven great sets of live music, 10 to 5, on the Oak St. Stage (at Oak & 16th). 

 Hands-On Art for Children (2018)

In 2018, we expanded our offerings for kids. For several hours during the fair, volunteers led structured art activities for children. Between 11 and 3, we also had drawing supplies available for kids to add to the ongoing Children's Mural.
