It’s like having a national art collection right in your own backyard as the Peoria Art Guild Fine Art Fair brings the works of over 150 national artists to the Peoria Riverfront September 27th and 28th!

As one of the oldest outdoor juried art fairs in the country, the Fine Art Fair gives everyone the rare opportunity to meet and talk with nationally-recognized artists, sample some of city’s finest cuisine, and listen to some of Peoria’s best musical performers. And for the kids, they can have their own art adventure at the Kids Art Fair. It’s central Illinois’ signature cultural event and the experience can be yours!
