Arts Festival How would you like to spend a day or two where money can’t buy everything, where the best of life is free—things like air so fresh that you are invigorated by the smell of it and the touch of it on your face? This is a place where ten cars in a row constitutes rush hour; where people are laid back and take time to find out where you’re from and help you find your way around the area—Come to Ogle County where the scenery is so spectacular that artists have been coming here for over a hundred years to capture its essence on canvas, photos or in sculpture. Every spring, artists come to the Rock River Valley in Ogle County to combine art and agriculture in their own unique medium. They are invited to live with farm families for nine days, and experience, first hand, the lifestyle that puts food on your table, clothes on your back, and perhaps even the fuel in your tank. In this fragmented society, we seldom stop to think of how closely our lives are interconnected. Come on the Sunday following Fathers Day to Oregon, IL. where you can experience the Field’s Project Art Festival. Each artist will display what they have created during their inspirational week on the farm along with regional artists and sculptors. Take an airplane ride to see the field sculptures and a walk along the sculpture trail in town. Afterward, visit our historic library’s art gallery collection donated by the Lorado Taft Eagle Nest Art Colony 1898-1942. For those things that money CAN buy, bring along your checkbook to purchase a bit of the country caught on canvas/photographs and sculptures. Have lunch at one of our restaurants while enjoying the food and music at the art show. At the end of the day, go home refreshed and content, with a little bit of country tucked back in your soul. Think of us each time you sit down to a delicious, nutritious meal! The farmers of Ogle County are always here---working for you! The Arts Festival is located at Mix Park at the SW end of Oregon on IL Rte 2 For plane ride reservations call 815-234-8684 Regional Artist Application -  |
