Thanks to all the artists, volunteers, staff, patrons, and sponsors who made this year’s event another great one!
Recap by Amy Taylor:
It’s a WRAP! The 2025 Glenview Summer Art Fair was FANTASTIC! All the artists are gone but WOW did they have some outstanding work! We thank ALL of you who came, bought, bid, hauled, complimented, chatted, snacked and persevered the rain (aka, played in mud puddles)! Our community of patrons ARE THE BEST!
