Fine Art and Artisan Fair, artist not disclosed

September. It’s the perfect setting to enjoy and purchase the work of more than 100 top artists from across the country, but not the only art fair in town.

Back at Naper Settlement, Naperville Woman’s Club has been hosting their Fine Art and Artisan Fair for more than 60 years. It’s been part of their mission for seven generations. Attracting more than 100 artists and artisans, it features an eclectic mix of paintings, jewelry, fiber art and even furniture. President Nancy de la Hoz says: “It is the Naperville Woman’s Club reputation that attracts many artists around the country, giving them the opportunity to display interesting and diverse

works of art. These talented artists bring such unique creativity. During the two-day art fair (which takes place in June) many artists and art lovers have formed a bond and love returning each year to see what is new with the artist.”

Art Around the Arista

Naperville’s love of art is contagious and newer organizations are keen to add their stamp. There are original works of art throughout the CityGate Centre. They include a gallery of different painting styles related to jazz. On October 8th and 9th, they’ll be hosting one of their popular Artisan Markets, which will give visitors another chance to meet artists and buy eye-catching pieces. One thing on which every art lover can agree is that Naperville’s art is an inspiration to us all. It can brighten a dull day or give us pause for reflection on a busy one. For those wanting to take it one step further, there are plenty of classes to try for all ages, from simple fun paint and sip events at Pinot’s Palette on Jackson Avenue to more structured courses at the Naperville Art League and Naperville Park District.
