Art in the Village 2026 - North Shore Art League

The North Shore Art League presents its 14th annual juried fine art fair on June 13 & 14, 2026, taking place in Hubbard Woods Park in Winnetka, a charming upscale Chicagoland destination located along the shores of Lake Michigan. This boutique show offers great visibility, enthusiastic buyers, and free parking. The show is open to all artists 18 years or older on a national basis who submit images for jurying. Work must be original, executed by the artist and completed within the last two years.

Accepted media categories include painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, fine art jewelry, photography, and digital art. Artists must furnish their own white tent display booth (10' x 10' single or 10' x 20' double). Booth space costs $495 for a single booth and $850 for a double booth. Awards jurors will select artists to receive prizes up to $3,000. Award winners from the previous year are invited to return exempt from jurying.

The application is free and requires 5 images plus a booth shot. Artists must be present for the entire duration of the show, retain all proceeds from sales, and are responsible for paying 9% sales tax to Illinois. Set-up begins Friday June 12th from 1:00pm-7:00pm, with the show opening at 10:00am Saturday. Security patrols the area Friday and Saturday evenings. The League provides scholarships to graduating high school seniors who have shown excellence in the arts.
