Visitors and Fine Art

This past weekend was our annual weekend for the Peoria Art Guild Fine Art Fair & Kids Art Festival. My mom and I have been checking out this art scene the last weekend in September every year since we moved to Illinois. This year my dad was also able to come for the visit, but the guys stayed at home while we ladies enjoyed the art loveliness by the river.

This year was the 46th year for the art fair and included 150 artists from across the country. The Illinois River has been flooded the last few weeks and threatened the show (all of the downtown Riverfront area was under water for a while), but the waters receded just in time to have a great show on a beautiful day!

Here are some pics of some of the art I loved. Obviously not every artist was okay with photos being taken, so I don't have any pics of the AWESOME photography that was on display. One day I will go to the fair with a bazillion dollars and buy to my heart's content. One day...

For my GA readers, this artist is from the ATL. Her paintings are amazing!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! We are going to Lafayette to visit family, attend a birthday party and meet our newest niece. I'll be back Monday with an update.
