Don’t forget this weekend’s fun in Naperville!
The Prairie View Arts Invitational on Friday & Saturday!
Stop by Friday night for champagne, tacos & live music!

An early kick-off to my art fair season!!!
Join me this weekend in Naperville for the Prairie View Arts Invitational. A very select group of artists joining together for a very special show. More personal so there’s lots of time to chat with the artists, look at their artwork, and decide what you “need” to take home with you! And don’t forget the champagne & tacos Friday night… and the homemade soup & baked goods on Saturday!

It’s still a bit too chilly for Summer art fairs…
so I’m kicking off my art fair season next weekend at the Prairie View Arts Invitational in Naperville. It will be a fun show for everyone who’s been jonesin’ for an art fair through the dead of Winter… like myself. Mark your calendar for next weekend… Friday night for champagne & tacos, or Saturday with homemade soup & bake sales. Either way, great eats & great art. C’mon by!!!
