Town & Country Art Show

The Park District hosted the Kendall County Town & Country Amateur Art Show on March 10 & 11, featuring the work of amateur adult and student artists. Many of the participating (and ribbon winning) entries were showing their work for the very first time.

This year Tricia Mucklow was the selected jurist. Tricia is an art teacher in Oswego School District 308 and the Art Director at Fox River Academy of Music & Art. She went to college at Northern Illinois University for Art Education and she has been teaching in this community for the past six years. 

Best of Show and blue ribbon winners are invited to enter the Town & Country Art Show at the state level to be held in Champaign, Illinois this summer.

Fox River Academy of Music & Art students of piano, guitar, and voice provided music throughout the weekend that was enjoyed by visitors to the art show. Also participating were members of the Quilter’s Dozen, as they demonstrated the art of hand quilting, and the Limelight Theatre Company, as they painted faces.
