Millennium Art Fest and 57th Street Art Fair

I have had a long day today. There were so many free festivals going on and I didn't want to miss any of them. I went to two art fairs today: the Millennium Art Fest near the Aon Center and the 57th Street Art Fair in Hyde Park. There were so many beautiful things to see that I am sorry I didn't get to spend as much time at the shows as I wanted to. But at least I collected a lot of great postcards and business cards from the booths I visited. So I will feature a few of my favorites.

Here are some of the artists from the Millennium Art Fest:

Prairie Fire Glass

Tim McWilliams

Kathryn Dynes Klemp

Dagmar Bruehmueller

And here are some artists who exhibited at the 57th Street Art Fair:

Adam Schultz

Joachim Knill


Leah Evans

Kathleen Eaton

Cheryl Gail Toh

Peter Cohen

Kavan Geary

Kate Barrere

Tali Landsman

Circa Ceramics

Suze Ford

Liz Williams

Susan Hodgin

As usual, I ended up window shopping because I was broke, but I really enjoyed getting a chance to learn about some exciting new artists, as well as see some others I've featured on here before, including Bekah Ash and Xiumei Zhang. I am looking forward to going to as many art shows as possible this summer. I am so glad that the summer festival season has begun again in Chicago. It is my favorite thing about living here. (Well that, and Chicago style pizza and hot dogs.)
