Fine Art Returns to Orland Park

Village & Orland Park Crossing Co-Sponsor Chamber Art Fair

ORLAND PARK, IL - Fine art will return to Orland Park when the Orland Park Area Chamber of Commerce hosts its outdoor Fine Art Fair July 20 and 21 at the Orland Park Crossing, 143rd and LaGrange Road. The fair is co-sponsored by the Village of Orland Park and Orland Park Crossing.

The outdoor fair will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days and admission and parking are free.

The chamber has more than doubled the number of exhibitors that participated in its inaugural fair in 2013. This year’s show excludes crafters and features only mixed media fine art products.

“We are very excited to have more than 50 artists joining us this year,” said Orland Park Chamber Executive Director Keloryn Putnam. “More than half of the artists from last year are returning, which speaks for the success of last year’s fair,” she said.

This year’s fair will feature food from local restaurants, a make and take tent on Saturday, raffle, caricature artist, local entertainment and a community art project.

“The art fair is a great way for the chamber to promote local shopping,” said Heather Warthen, the chamber’s art fair chair. “It offers great exposure for Orland Park and helps drive local business, not only for the area stores but also for the local artists,” she said.

“The chamber’s Fine Art Fair Committee has done a great job building on the foundation created with last year’s fair. We’re looking forward to presenting an event that will be enjoyed by all ages,” Warthen said.

Art Fair sponsors also include Edwards Realty Company, Darvin Furniture, First American Bank, The Horton Group, Whole Foods Market, PrintSource Plus and The Orland Park Prairie.
