Top Artists To Converge In Frankfort For Art On The Green

FRANKFORT, IL — Art on the Green is scheduled to return from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at Breidert Green in downtown Frankfort. The event is a five-hour art festival featuring some of the area's best artists in a variety of media. The event is hosted by the Frankfort Arts Association.

Art on the Green, previously known as The Frankfort Fine Arts Fair, usually holds its event in June, but with pandemic restrictions in place then, decided to hold it this month instead, Frankfort Arts Association Board President Katie Stempniak said. Since this is an outdoor event, masks will not be required, but those wishing to wear one can, she added.

“We’re really excited. We have a little bit over 25 artists who are going to be participating, which I think is wonderful considering all the restrictions we’ve had to deal with the last year and a half,” Stempniak said.

Some of those artists are well-known local names in the art circuit, including Ted Fuka, Margi Hafer, Nicholas Eckmayer and Tania Cioffi, among others. The artists specialize in a variety of media, from traditional paint and watercolor to sculpture and avant-garde pieces.

In addition to the artwork, Art on the Green will offer free activities for children, feature live music, pair with The Wine Thief to offer wine tasting and have live music. Plus, with Art on the Green taking place at Breidert Green in downtown Frankfort, visitors will be able to check out the many shops and restaurants in the area, and be able to check out the Modified Country Market, which runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
