Chicago has so many different neighborhoods, and there is always something going on. Today I decided to go to the Glenwood Arts Festival in Rogers Park.
 |
| The Art Festival takes over 4 blocks of the neighborhood. |
|
|
 |
| Kids playing on the balance boards. |
 |
| 25 cent Peace Patches. |
 |
| Window Art. |
 |
| There were 3 stages with live music playing. This one is a band called Popular Rejects, I think all the kids in this band are 12 year-olds. |
 |
| A whole garden full of junk art. |
The entire street is painted with mural art (you can sort of see them behind some of the pictures of the vendors). There were vendors for prints, paintings, sculptures, ceramics, quilts, books, window arts, candle arts, jewelry, crochet and knitting, arts and crafts, wood work, stone and sand work, and everything else in between. It was lots of fun to walk around and just see everything. I bought myself a pair of double-sided earrings made using shrink paper.
Wow... that looks like a fantastic way to while away the day. I really like the window art concept.
