Gold Coast Art Fair will bring 200 artists and a charitable twist

Now in its 67th year, the Gold Coast Art Fair , presented by Amdur Productions, returns to Chicago’s Grant Park on Saturday, June 7 and Sunday, June 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. This prestigious art fair will feature over 200 juried artists from across the country, offering a diverse range of original works in painting, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, mixed media and more.

Set in the heart of Chicago, between the Art Institute and Lake Michigan, the Gold Coast Art Fair will offer an exciting atmosphere with live music throughout the weekend and a variety of food, wine, beer and sangria at three oases in Grant Park’s Butler Field.

The fair will also include Paint and Sip classes, henna art, caricatures, personalized poems and interactive art booths for kids. The Kids Art Zone will be packed with fun activities, including face painting, sand art, giant bubbles and more.

Tickets are $15, with $2 from each sale benefiting WINGS Program, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to providing housing, integrated services, education and advocacy to end domestic violence.

Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the gate. Tickets are required for admission. Children 12 and under are admitted free.

(With convenient parking at the Millennium Parking Garage and easy access via public transportation, including loop trains and Michigan Avenue buses, the fair is accessible for everyone. The event is also wheelchair-friendly and leashed dogs are welcome.)
