St. Charles Fine Art Show Celebrates It's 10th Year in 2008!

In 2008, the St. Charles Fine Art Show will achieve a milestone of success as it enters its tenth consecutive year of bringing quality artwork to the Fox Valley. From the time of its inception in 1999, the annual 2-day art show has grown in quantity and quality, attracting art lovers keen to view and, hopefully, purchase uncommon works of art in a unique atmosphere.

Gathering talented artists from around the country as well as regional and local artists, the 2008 show promises to be the best yet, according to event organizers. Approximately one hundred fine artists are expected to participate in the 10th Annual St. Charles Fine Art Show. Dedicated fine art buyers will find for exhibit and sale painting, jewelry, sculpture, photography, ceramics, and glass.

Located on the beautiful banks of the Fox River, attendees stroll the grounds to tunes provided by renowned jazz and blues club, Chord on Blues. Take a break from browsing the show and stop by the "Silent Auction" tent which offers patrons an opportunity to bid on works of art donated by many of the show's participating artists. Attendees will find a variety of local restaurants within a short walking distance of the show that will appeal to a wide variety of tastes and prices.
