The Park Forest Art Fair is the second oldest, continuously juried fine art fair in the Chicagoland region. For several years, the Park Forest Art Fair has been voted one of the top Five Small Town Art Fairs in the country by the ArtFairCalendar annual survey of “Best Art Fairs in America.”

This is an extraordinarily artist-friendly fair. The downtown street provides awnings under which new and emerging artists who have not yet invested in a tent can display their artworks. Volunteers can help unload and load vehicles.
 
They also provide water all day, both days and can provide time for bathroom breaks. The Tall Grass Board of Directors serves breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, snacks at mid-day on Saturday and a scrumptious dinner Saturday night along with an awards ceremony.
 
11001963262?profile=RESIZE_400xSeveral of the artists have exhibited continuously for nearly three decades. Other, newer artists come from throughout the Midwest. A long-standing tradition at the Park Forest Art Fair, one that is loved by all of the artists, is that fair-attendees stop and chat with the artists. Artists are welcome to demonstrate their artwork techniques during the fair.
