The Fields Project Fine Arts & Crafts 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 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.

On the Sunday following Fathers Day, come to Oregon, IL where you can experience the Field’s Project Arts and Crafts Festival. Each visiting artist will display what they have created during their inspirational week on the farm along with regional artists and sculptors. Make plans to visit the historic Oregon Library’s art gallery collection donated by the Lorado Taft Eagle Nest Art Colony 1898-1942. After visiting the library’s collection, take a walk along the sculpture trail in town.

For those things that money CAN buy, bring along your checkbook to purchase a bit of the country caught on canvas and in photographs and sculptures. Take an airplane ride to see the field sculptures. There are food concessions at the Fine Arts and Crafts Festival, or you’ll find plenty of restaurants when you explore our town.

At the end of the day, go home refreshed and content, perhaps with artwork that puts a little bit of country 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 Fine Arts and Crafts Festival is located at Mix Park in Oregon, IL, along Rt. 2 south of Rt. 64.

Come to Ogle County where the scenery is so spectacular that artists have been coming here for over a 100 years to capture its essence on canvas, photos or in sculpture.
