Artists transform simple materials, like paint and canvas, into stunning masterpieces. On Sept. 5, Plainfield Art League's members will transform Village Green Park into a free outdoor gallery. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day, artists will display and sell their work in the park, at Chicago and Fox River streets near downtown Plainfield.
The league's dozens of members come from throughout Will County and work in many media, creating everything from photos and paintings to pottery and prints. Plus, other community artists have been invited to take part in the fine arts show.
Visitors can stroll through the park, take part in a silent auction of works donated by league members or view a show by Plainfield School District artists.
At the show, you can enjoy culture without the long drive or the hefty museum admission fee and see local sites in a new way through the eyes of local artists.
