10 am-5 pm

Daily Admission:  $7
All Weekend Admission:  $10

MEMBERS ONLY BENEFIT:  Peoria Art Guild Members receive free admission all weekend AND

Member's Only admission Saturday 9 - 10 a.m.
Peoria Art Guild members and Fine Art Fair sponsors can view and purchase art one hour prior to the  official opening of the Fine Art Fair.  If you are not an Art Guild member, you can sign up for membership prior to the 9:00 a.m. special opening at the entrance to the Fair or send an email to info@peoriaartguild.org.

 It’s like having an art gallery in your own backyard.  This is not just an art event, but Peoria’s largest community event on the Riverfront, with an anticipated 40,000 visitors.  You can spend the day or the entire weekend at this two-day celebration of the visual arts.  The Peoria Art Guild offers exceptional works of art from nationally-recognized artists, memorable music, palate pleasing food and drinks, and hands-on activities for the kids and adults.

ARTISTS:  Spend the day of the entire weekend at the Peoria Riverfront.  150 artists from across the United States and Canada will exhibit and sell works of art in jewelry, painting, photography, ceramics, wood, glass, mixed media, metal and fiber.  All artwork is original and has been created by the exhibiting artist.  Through an extensive rating process, 120 artists were invited to exhibit at the Fair along with 30 artists who were invited to attend as past award winners.   

 KIDS ART FESTIVAL: The Kids Art Festival (KAF) has grown to become its own destination event within the Fine Art Fair, offering great “make and take” art projects for kids of all ages.  Mentor Apprentice Program (MAP) students will be face-painters during the Fair.  All proceeds benefit art education programs at the Guild.

ENTERTAINMENT: The Art Fair also supports the performing arts with musical performances on the CEFCU Center Stage located in the heart of the Fair.  All performers are local and are among the best in central Illinois.  Artists and instructors will also be demonstrating their craft during the weekend.

COMMUNITY MURAL:  Join the Peoria Art Guild as we create a community mural.  Last year, hundreds of people contributed to the community mural.  Lend a hand to this interactive art event to help create an 8 foot by 8 foot interpretation of the poster art. 

FOOD AND WINE:  Local vendors are carefully selected to serve food and beverage at the Fair.  A variety of top quality wine and beer will also be available.

For more information, visit www.peoriafineartfair.com or www.peoriaartguild.org

The 49th Annual Fine Art Fair applications will be available in January of 2011.  To be added to the mailing list for the 2011 shows, please send an email to artfair@peoriaartguild.org.
