Mokena Festival
A Celebration of Art, Food, Wine and Automobiles
Downtown Fine Arts Show
Presented by the Mokena Mayors Charitable Foundation
Saturday, October 2nd Front Street 10 am to 4 pm
What could be more enjoyable on a pleasant cool October day than strolling along Front Street in Mokena and viewing the work of our local and regional artist and artisans? Each year, the show offers a variety of styles, ranging from oils, watercolors and chalks to black and white sketches. Modern art, impressionists, abstracts, it is all there for your pleasure. Also on hand are wood and metal sculptures and jewelry craftsman. Adding to the experience is the fact that you can purchase your favorite piece or pieces to take home with you, or possibly have it delivered. Even better, if you have not found something you like, you can often commission it from you favorite artist. Part of the pleasure of the event is that you can talk to the artist themselves and observe them at work.
Best of all, the Fine Arts Show is free to visitors!
The artists attend the show each year and have developed a following so they are prepared with brochures of their work, their itineraries and contact information.
