Join us for the 2023 Liberty Arts Festival!

Saturday, August 19th

Whether you’re a budding artist or veteran virtuoso, you’re invited to charming Downtown Morris for the 2023 Liberty Arts Festival. The event returns with an Art Walk on the Grundy County Courthouse Lawn, Creator’s Village for children, live musical and dance performances, food trucks, and the wildly popular Sip ‘N Shop throughout the boutiques and retail stores.
The Art Stroll is an opportunity to set up your booth to demonstrate, showcase, and sell your art from 10AM-4PM. Each artist receives a 10 x 10 space for a contribution of $45, which will benefit the Exibit Fine Arts Center & Gallery. There is no fee for student artists and demonstration is not required.

This is a juried show with prizes as follows: 1st place $200, 2nd place $150, and 3rd place $75. Past winners comprised a range of talents, including oil painting, ceramics, woodworking, floral design, and photography. All artists receive hours of valuable exposure at the event and social media promotion.

Full schedule to be posted before the event. Event updates and artist announcements will be shared on @Visit Morris, IL, @City of Morris, IL, and @Liberty Arts Festival social media pages.
