About
The "Granddaddy of American Art Festivals," the 69th Gold Coast Art Fair returns to Grant Park! The Gold Coast Art Fair is the 3rd oldest and one of the most well attended art fests in Chicago. Located within walking distance of the Art Institute, The Bean and Buckingham Fountain, Gold Coast Art Fair draws thousands of art enthusiasts from Chicago and the surrounding suburbs due to it's heavy advertising program and reputation. Gold Coast Art Fair features about 250 artists in a lovely setting with both lake views and park vistas backed by the Chicago skyline. Paved walks lead to every booth and every artist is on the main loop. A special Artist VIP tent provides backup support. Discounted parking is available to artists (fee). Set up is dolly in, but most distances are short. This show loads in the day before the festival. Security is on site from load in through load out.
