EXCITING NEWS!

The Gold Coast Art Fair will have a new location in Chicago’s famous Grant Park at the corner of Monroe Street and Lake Shore Drive, across the street from the Art Institute of Chicago.

The new location is referred to as Butler Field. Butler Field is an entire city square block with paved walks, trees and real bathrooms. Butler Field is the permanent location of Chicago’s famous Petrillo Band Shell - home to the Chicago Jazz Festival and other notable summer events. Parking is plentiful at the Monroe Street garage across the street.

This move gives the Gold Coast Art Festival:
• Increased space for artists
• Increased visibility to the public (141,700 cars pass daily)
• Immediate adjacency to Millennium Park and The Art Institute
• Increased safety - no roads to cross, better overnight security
• No City of Chicago permit fees

This location switch necessitates a date change this year to August 20, 21 & 22.
