The 75th Old Town Art Fair takes place on Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15, 2025 in the heart of the charming Old Town Triangle Historic District in Chicago. For 75 years the Old Town community has hosted this event, the kick off to summer in Chicago. Today, the Fair is arranged and run by more than 600 neighbors and friends of the OTAF, ensuring that this Fair is unlike any other.
2025 will bring 230+ nationally acclaimed artists, a Community Corner featuring local nonprofit art organizations and Emerging Artists, an estimated 15,000 art lovers, a Garden Walk, Live Music, Food Court and Children’s Corner. Gates open Saturday 10:00 am to 7:00 pm and Sunday 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, rain or shine.
The Old Town Art Fair is a Fine Art Fair which includes 2D and 3D Mixed Media, Drawings, Paintings, Photography, Printmaking, Ceramics, Glass, Fiber, Jewelry and works in Metal, Stone and Wood. Each year, every artist is selected by an independent jury of art professionals from the Chicago area. There will be returning favorites along with many fresh things to explore — more than half of the exhibiting artists will be new to the Fair.
Proceeds from the Old Town Art Fair benefit the Old Town Triangle Association, Menomonee Club, local schools, arts and cultural programs, children’s programs and historic and architectural preservation projects. It is a completely volunteer-run event and all proceeds benefit the community.
For fifty years, two separate art events are held in Old Town on the second weekend in June and are often confused with each other. Our friends and neighbors a few blocks south host the Wells Street Art Festival.
