Leeper Park Art Fair

Hello friend!

For the first time ever, I will be exhibiting my oil paintings at the Leeper Park Art Fair in South Bend, Indiana this coming weekend, June 18-19, 2022.   The hours of the show are 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.  81 artists and craftsmen will be showing and selling their creations.  I particularly like small, fine art shows so am really looking forward to this event.

The historic Studebaker Electric Fountain, rebuilt and restored to its original glory in 2019, occupies a place of prominence in the central section of the park.  South Bend has been doing millions of dollars worth of renovation to Leeper Park so I am excited to visit and participate in the art fair.

After a crazy, hectic weekend at the Old Town Art Fair in Chicago, I have been busy catching up with painting and gardening and mowing and other chores here on my farm in Brown County before heading out again to South Bend.

So, that’s it for today!  Gotta keep plugging away on that long list of things to do!  And, yes, even in the heat, life goes on.

Happy trails,

Charlene

Old Town Art Fair in Chicago

POSTED ON JUNE 7, 2022 BY CHARLENE MARSH

Hello, friend!

This coming weekend I will be exhibiting my paintings at the top ranked art show, Old Town Art Fair in Chicago.  I will be in Booth 216 on Wisconsin Street.  The hours of the show are 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. on Saturday and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.

June 11-12, 2022:  Old Town Art Fair, Chicago, Illinois.

 

To tell the truth, I gave up this show several years ago due to the early Saturday morning load in and set up which was always problematic.   I could be out there as early as 4:00 a.m. and still not be able to start to set up my booth until after 8:00 a.m.!  I am sure some patrons thought I slept in when they saw me still setting up at the 10:00 a.m. opening bell.  But, now they allow set up on Friday which will be much less stressful.

So, I am thrilled to be returning to Old Town.  The Old Town Art Fair focuses primarily on fine art that exists for it’s own aesthetic value.  The show does not allow any crafts that are primarily functional.  The quality of fine art at Old Town is some of the best in the country.  I am honored to be invited!

Well, I’m going to keep this short and sweet.  Still have lots to do to get ready for the show.  Varnishing and framing new paintings, loading the van, laundry, food prep, and more!

Hope to see you at the show.

Happy trails,

Charlene
