Gold Coast Art Fair: Chicago, Illinois

Celebrating 64 years, the Gold Coast Art Fair returns to Chicago’s Grant Park on June 18 and 19, which is Father’s Day Weekend! This award-winning, family-friendly art fair welcomes 200 juried artists from around the country and draws thousands of art enthusiasts from Chicago and beyond, creating an exceptional, shoppable art experience. Paintings, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, mixed media and more will be exhibited and available for purchase. Live music stages in various locations along with delicious food, beer, wine and sangria add to the festive atmosphere. $10 admission per person, per day, will benefit Chicago Furniture Bank. Kids 12 and under are admitted for free. Easy parking is available in the Millennium Parking Garage right off Columbus Street. The show is handicap accessible and wheel friendly. Attendees are invited to bring their gently used wall art to the festival where it will be donated to the Chicago Furniture Bank, a nonprofit that distributes furnishings and art to those leaving shelters and moving into permanent housing.
