This will be our 38th Oak Park Show and our 33rd show in this area (which is, we believe, the best possible area for a show in Oak Park).this excellent show is held in which is the shopping area for Oak Park, a healthy, vibrant area.Oak Park is the nurturing grounds for entire shops of Visual and Performance Arts, Architecture & Literature and has many tourist attractions. Scoville Park is located in the heart of Oak Park with the show held Friday and Saturday to take advantage of the best time for customers. Exclusive shops and restaurants abound in this well-established, ever growing downtown shopping district surrounded by exclusive residential area. Customers travel long distances to see and shop the show. Those who patronize this area are very interested in high quality art work. Stores are very cooperative. Extensive publicity plus advertising & many posters/flyers distributed directly to customers. Area is easily accessible to public transportation and has been very busy late Fri with those on the way home from work. Area includes Frank Lloyd Wright House. Has been highly recommended by area members. We've even done well here when it has rained! An outstanding show. Most every (maybe all) spaces located on grass - possibly a few can be on brick/concrete.
