Glencoe Festival of Art THIS Weekend

In cooperation with the Glencoe Chamber of Commerce, Amdur Productions proudly presents the fifth annual Glencoe Festival of Art.  Taking place in Downtown Glencoe at Green Bay Road and Park Avenue on Saturday, August 3 and Sunday, August 4 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, this distinguished outdoor festival offers exceptional artwork from more than 120 juried artists from around the world.

Free and open to the public, the Glencoe Festival of Art offers the opportunity to enjoy and purchase extraordinary works from acclaimed artists in a variety of mediums.  Extraordinary examples of ceramics, glass, jewelry, metal, painting, photography and wood can be found at the festival.  Festival-goers will also have the opportunity to see the masters at work with interactive art demos and booth chats taking place all weekend long!

Live music, great food and fun activities for kids, including an art scavenger hunt and spin art, make the festival a destination for art enthusiasts of all ages. Daily drawings will take place and several lucky festival-goers will receive Art Buck$, courtesy of Amdur Productions, to spend on a piece of art at any of Amdur Productions’ 2013 festivals! Nestled amongst countless upscale retail shops, galleries, cafes and restaurants, the festival complements a day of shopping and browsing in the charming Village of Glencoe.
