Description
Set against the backdrop of the Illinois Old State Capitol building, art lovers find the Springfield Old Capitol Art Fair to be the jewel of the Midwest. This tradition of fine art has brought artists and shoppers from across the country flocking to downtown Springfield?s two-day outdoor art gallery for 55 years. Free to the public, the juried fair is dedicated to top quality and media variety, keeping the more than 30,000 eager buyers coming back each year. Whether you are a serious art collector or are just developing an appreciation, there is original art here for you, in the form of jewelry, sculpture, photography, glass, pottery, wood, metal, oils, watercolors, and other media. Our popular Children's Tent will also be available for children ages 2-15 so that they may select works of art that appeals to them. All Tent art pieces are priced at $4-6.
