COMMUNITY ART SHOW AND JURIED COMPETITION

About the Show

This unique visual arts display showcases works of art created by artists spanning eight decades and hailing from all over the northwest suburbs!

Why do we do this? We believe creativity is a gift meant to be shared, not hidden. By inviting artists of all ages to contribute their work, we create space for reflection, conversation, and encouragement—both for those who create and for those who come to look, listen, and celebrate.

2026 Show Theme:
Path of Peace

Artists explored peace not only as a goal, but as something practiced and lived through faith, relationships, struggle, healing, justice, creation, or everyday life. Your work might reflect quiet moments or difficult journeys. There is no single right interpretation. 

Cash Prizes

Due to generous donors, 12 different cash prizes totaling over $2,000 will be awarded across age and art categories, and one artist will take home a People’s Choice Award.
