Press release from the Village of Deerfield:

The Deerfield Fine Arts Commission will host an open house to showcase the pieces selected for the ninth year of the Deerfield Public Art Program at the Deerfield Public Library, 920 Waukegan Road, on Wednesday, August 13, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.

Participating artists include Tracy Jones, John Calderon, Diane Paserba, Joel Trammell, Janet Poppe, Leslie Outten, Charlotte Kaplan, Alexis Brandenburg, Matt Plofsky, Linda Trytek, Sharon Straus and Karen Grage. The artists will discuss their work and answer questions from the public in a new “Meet the Artist” forum at the open house.

The specific artwork selected for display were chosen from submissions by a very talented pool of artists and were reviewed via jury process. The Fine Arts Commission is responsible for reviewing artwork submissions and making a final recommendation. The artists have agreed to loan their works of art for public display for up to one year.

Pieces from the previous Public Art Program will remain on display until the open house.
