Affair of the Arts on Sunday

Itâ€™s the week before Thanksgiving, and I have been in the holiday spirit since September. On November 20 you can see the fruits of my latest studio sessions at Affair of the Arts.Â The Affair of the Arts is a Fine Art & Artisan Gift Show held at The Shores of Turtle Creek, in Spring Grove, Illinois.Â The spacious lodge will be filled with 10,000 square feet of original artwork and artisan crafts for one day.

Affair of the Arts takes place Sunday, November 20, from 10:00 to 5:00 pm at 7908 Winn Road, Spring Grove, Illinois 60081. Admission to the event is free.

You can buy art, jewelry, ceramics, paintings, glass, photography, mixed media and more. Visitors are able to purchase beverages and enjoy complimentary snacks during the event. Hors dâ€™ oeuvres and light snacks will be available.

The first floor of Turtle Creek accommodates about half of the participating artists, with plenty of room for browsers to mingle and shop. Downstairs you will find another full level of fine art and crafts to purchase.

All items for sale are handcrafted. There will be something for everyoneâ€™s budget, from affordable small gifts to collector pieces. Both levels are handicapped-accessible. There is a ramp to the upper level along the west side of the building, and also a ramp sloping down to the lower level entrance.
