Testimonials:
- Bill, photographer at the show: This show is what I consider the ideal show. About 50 talented artists, this gives you time to look at each one. Yet this show has all the amenities of the large shows. It had artists that are very selected, great food on site, and wonderful background music. This allows the guests to be comfortable and able to really enjoy the art that is presented.
- Jim and I have participated in this show all eight years. Great show! Wonderful artists! We want to thank the entire Mundelein Arts Festival team, volunteers and sponsors for everything they do to make this such a terrific show. Hope to see you all next year!
- The whole weekend was fantastic, great volunteer support, one of the best organized shows I've participated in. Look forward to next year.
