Lakeview East is a dynamic and diversified neighborhood community rich in culture, history and the arts. The Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce works hand in hand with their local residents and business owners and is pleased to offer its neighbors and the Chicagoland area with one of the premier fine art outdoor festivals.
The 2019 Lakeview East Festival of the Arts showcases more than 150 juried artists featuring world-class original paintings, sculpture, photography, furniture, jewelry and more. In addition to the diverse artists' booths, the Festival also includes live music on multiple stages, an interactive children's area, wine, beer and food booths, an interactive garden oasis and much more. Each year one artist is chosen to create an image to represent the year's festival on various materials around the city. The year the artist is painter Karina Llergo's "Dare to Live." The original work is a limited edition 60" x 30" canvas embellished with thick acrylics applied by palette knife to add a 3-D feel. Llergo, born and raised in Mexico City currently resides in Northbrook, Illinois.
To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Lakeview East Festival of the Arts, there is also a packed live performance line-up including Main Stage headliners The Bama Lamas and Rod Tuff Curls.
