The annual Gold Coast Art Fair will return to Grant Park this summer for its 65th year, on Saturday, June 17, and Sunday, June 18.

The weekend-long event will include the works of over 200 carefully selected artists from across the country. Paintings, sculptures, jewelry, ceramics, and more will be on display and available for purchase.

The festival will feature delicious food options, along with beer, wine, and sangria. Guests can also enjoy live music performances across several stages and engage with live art demos.

Attendees are encouraged to bring gently-used art to donate to the Chicago Furniture Bank, a non-profit organization which collects furniture and fixtures for those in need.

The Gold Coast Art Fair is open to the public with tickets available for $10 per adult. Children under the age of 12  are welcome free of charge. The festival is easily accessible by car and is a short walking distance from Red and Green “L” train and Loop public transit stops.

For additional information and ticket options, visit Eventbrite or the Amdur Productions site.
