New! Virtual Artist of the Day in September
The Covid-19 pandemic meant we had to cancel the 10th Annual Mundelein Arts Festival. Many of the artists who had already applied agreed to let us put their application fee to the 2021 show. This was a great financial help to the Festival. As a thank you, we will be these artists in September! Please visit our Mundelein Arts Festival Facebook page or our Mundelein Park & Recreation District Instagram page to see their art. Please share and comment on these artists creative efforts!
