Stop by the info booth during the art festival to get your very own print! Whether you’re a Bucktown neighbor, Chicago student, visiting a friend, or just looking for another way to get involved–we’d love to have you! It all started one hot summer in the 80s when four artists decided to sell their art in the park. A neighborhood tradition, built by volunteers, where all proceeds go to fund arts education. At the park and in local classrooms, we make more arts education possible. A big THANK YOU to the volunteers at the Bucktown Fest this year. So well organized and very helpful through the two hot days.
