Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages The 57th Street Art Fair
For today's episode, I wanted to focus on the business side of art by looking at art fairs. I interviewed Amy from the 57th Street Art Fair in Chicago. Celebrating its 79th anniversary, this historic fair has evolved from a neighborhood gathering into a premier juried event. Learn the fascinating history of the fair, insights into the jury process, and stories of famous artists who got their start displaying their work between the trees of Hyde Park.
The 57th Street Art Fair takes place annually on the first full weekend of June, located along 57th Street between Woodlawn and Kenwood in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. The event is free to the public and features not only a diverse array of fine art but also food trucks, live music, and activities for children. Artists interested in exhibiting can apply through the ZAPP application system with a $45 fee, noting that the deadline for submissions is January 15th.
