In 2004, Art at the Glen Town Center launched into the Amdur Productions festival lineup and soared above all expectations for a first-year show. From opening until show’s end, the streets at this free festival were flooded each day by an enormous crowd bustling to get their hands on the work of the 175 juried artists participating. Located on the former site of the Glenview Naval Air Station and its historic Hangar One, the Glen Town Center is home to some of the finest stores in the Midwest and is an enduring reminder of the community’s role in aviation history. Brought to you by community developer Oliver McMillan, even more artists and more festive food will combine to set new levels of quality for all. This year’s show looks to be another highflyer!
At the Festival:
FESTIVE FOOD
Visitors may enjoy a variety of fare including freshly squeezed lemonade, kettle korn, Mai Tai’s and more! In addition to Ra Sushi’s onsite restaurant they will also have a special booth in the festival serving food. All the great Glen Town Center restaurants will additionally be open throughout the weekend.
CREATIVE AND EDUCATIONAL FUN
