The annual Garden Art Festival, Saturday, June 25, 2016 at The Growing Place, 25w471 Plank Rd, Naperville, IL will feature “local artists, live music, talks and treats in our gardens” from 9 am until 5 pm.

While the Nature Artists’ Guild will not have a booth for selling artwork at this event, it is permissible for participants to bring business cards and a few small examples of previous work or a small portfolio for interested visitors to view.
Any members who would like to participate are asked to contact Mary Ann Jimenez as soon as possible. Mary Ann’s contact information can be found in the Yearbook. Please click on the highlighted links above to learn more about The Growing Place and the Garden Art Festival.
