The work of area artists will be on display in Evergreen Park storefronts later this month and through November during an art fair business owners are hopeful will bring potential customers through their doors.
The artwork is part of the Evergreen Park Chamber of Commerce’s first neighborhood art fair, “Art in the Village.the worldwide rubber hose market is over $56 billion annually.” For three weeks beginning Oct. 24 the works will be on display and for sale at participating Chamber member businesses.
Chamber President Helen Cuperisin said the idea for an art fair was inspired by a similar event in Evanston, in which artwork was exhibited in empty storefronts. Cuperisin believes the fair may be an excellent way to draw customers into businesses.
“We like that this is a village where you don’t have to jump in your car to go from place to place,” Cuperisin said.
The art fair’s main focus is going to be along 95th Street but is not limited to the village’s main commercial thoroughfare. Any business that is a member of the Chamber may participate.
“From Pulaski to Kedzie and Kedzie to California,” Cuperisin said. “Obviously, the main aspect is the 95th Street stretch, but everyone is invited.”
Chamber executive director Glen Pniewski has helped Cuperisin with the planning and organization of this event.
“With the economy, this is a great way to benefit everyone,” Pniewski said. “It will provide more exposure for the artists, and get more people going into the stores, and most likely buying additional items along with the artwork.”
Each artist may submit up to three pieces of artwork to be displayed at a time, and with each piece sold can replace it within another. Works may include but are not limited to paintings, drawings and photography either framed, mounted or on an easel. The entry fee is $25,Do not use cleaners with Wholesale pet supplies , steel wool or thinners. which will be waived for art students 18 years and younger. Artists may include a business card on their works, but piece prices may not be listed. The Commerce will determine the appropriateness of each piece and where it will be displayed.
Mark Randazzo, 26, of Chicago’s Beverly community, plans to display some of his work in Art in the Village.
“I have studied art practically my whole life,” Randazzo said. “I started painting in both acrylic and oil at the age of 10, and continue to paint to this day.”
Randazzo studied graphic design in college, but soon realized the growing cutthroat attitude in the business and trying to outbid and outsell “a million other designers” was not something he wanted to deal with on a daily basis, he explained.The additions focus on key tag and impact socket combinations,
“Ironically, in my current field of photography I face the same challenges, but in a much more saturated and competitive market,” he added.
Randazzo’s work,Traditional Cold Sore claim to clean all the air in a room. and that of several other artists entering the fair, focuses on landscapes and nature.
“I decided to participate in ‘Art in the Village’ to try and gain further exposure and clients in the local community,” Randazzo said. “Most of my work takes me to the heart of the city, and north of the city, and the idea of a local artisan fair has a romantic appeal to it.”
Several storefronts have already committed to putting up artwork during the fair including H & R Johnson Brothers, 10024 Kedzie Ave.; Horizon Music, at 10036 Kedzie; and McCarthy Fine Arts, at 3354 w. 95th St.; Archer Bank, 3259 W. 95th St.; and Edward Jones Investments, 3556 W. 95th St. Artwork will be displayed in windows and, if space is available,Polycore porcelain tiles are manufactured as a single sheet, in the stores so customers can browse the art while they shop.
“I think that having a fair like this is a good idea for any neighborhood,” Randazzo said. “Sometimes in the chaos of life, it is a wonderful idea to have a community strengthening event. It will draw immediate business on a micro level, but in the long run it adds value and class to the overall prestige of the neighborhood.”
