Free to the public, and celebrating the arts for the 23rd year, we invite you to apply to the West End Arts Festival in La Grange, IL. This juried fine art festival continues to be a popular end-of-the-summer event for the community as well as for high-caliber artists from across the country due to its strong reputation as being well-organized and being very artist friendly!

The event draws visitors from surrounding communities to the upscale and family-friendly Village of La Grange as it is easily accessible and located just 20 minutes west of Chicago. The West End Arts Festival is held in the shadow of the landmark Stone Avenue Metra train station in the charming and historic west end area of La Grange, IL., surrounded by old trees, small businesses and free parking. It is truly a picture-perfect setting to showcase your art.

The staff and members of the virbrant La Grange Business Association, in cooperation with the Village of La Grange, plan, host, and actively promote the artists and the festival through a variety of marketing channels.

The 2018 show will be our 23rd annual event filled with juried art, jazz music, culinary art, wine tasting, art activities for all ages and attendees excited to shop! Registration ends March 30.
