Oakbrook Center is a premier outdoor shopping center located in the affluent western suburbs of Chicago. The Center features more than 160 fine shops, including Bloomingdale's Home and Furniture, Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Sears. All artists are located throughout the mall's walkways among trees, flowers, plants, waterfalls and fountains.
For over 45 years, Oakbrook Center has held both an Invitational Fine Art Exhibition (September) and a Fine Craft Exhibition (July) offering artists from all over the U.S an opportunity to display and sell their original work. Please note this change: we are combining these two events into one event where original work in all media will be included. We will no longer be hosting the July Fine Craft Exhibition.
This is a contemporary fine art exhibition. ONLY original work in design and concept is allowed. Thus, no imports or works made with the use of commercial kits, molds, patterns, plans, stencils, or prefabricated forms accepted. The exhibition features live entertainment, free parking and admission.
