The Peoria Art Guild 54th Annual Fine Art Fair featuring works of over 150 national artists will take place on the Peoria Riverfront.
Ranked as a “Top 50” art fair in the country, the Fine Art Fair is one of the largest community events on Peoria’s Riverfront.
The fair is not only a major art event in central Illinois, but it is a popular community and family event.
Plan to spend the day or the entire weekend at Peoria’s largest art event on the city’s scenic riverfront.
As one of the oldest art fairs in the country, the Peoria Art Guild Fine Art Fair is nationally recognized for it picture-perfect riverfront setting, 150 jury-selected artists from across the U.S. and around the world, hands-on art activities for kids and adults, musical performances, and palate-pleasing food for some Central Illinois favorites being held on September 25th and 26th.
This upcoming event is not just about art, but music and food as well; here is a small sampling of what will be on display:
