Art Glass Duck

In Naperville, There Is No Better Place To Frame An Art Show Than The Riverwalk, Which Was The Setting For This Weekend’s 26th Yearly Riverwalk Fine Art Fair, Sponsored By The Naperville Art League.

Few would argue that art is best experienced by having the right backdrop as its setting.

In Naperville, there’s no better place to frame an art show than the Riverwalk, which was the setting for this weekend’s 26th yearly Riverwalk Fine Art Fair, sponsored by the Naperville Art League.

From ten a.m. To 5 p.m. Sat. and Sun., more than 125 artists offer a big selection of design starting from watercolor and oil paintings to other mediums including ceramics, fiber, jewellery, photography and sculpture.

Debbie Venezia, executive manager of the Naperville Art League, said about 50 p.c of the artists featured this week have appeared in the show before, suggesting many visitors are probably going to reconnect with some old pals.

“A enormous number of folks have been here before, and we’re sure many visitors will be very happy to see them again,” Venezia said. “We also have a reasonable number of new artists, including many who have come from fairly far away. This is a major show which has been ranked as one of the top 50 out of two hundred out of doors shows held throughout the country. It has gained lots of recognition primarily based on word-of-mouth from visitors as well as through the network of artists.”

New events this year included an activity tent offered by the DuPage Children’s Museum which is partnering with the Art League. Guests also enjoyed music from the DuPage Symphony and performances from the McNulty Irish Dancers. Venezia claimed holding the event at the end of the summer offers visitors “the perfect time to experience the show.”

“Having the Riverwalk as the setting for this clearly augments the experience, and since the seasons are beginning to switch, people don’t have to deal with the heat which frequently keeps visitors away,” she said. “We usually draw about 75,000 folks over the two-day weekend, and folks from out of the city see the Riverwalk, which is the crown jewel of Naperville.”

Artists as well as art backers agreed the weekend setting as well as the weather would draw thousands to downtown Naperville. Susan Wilson of Lisle asserted this was her 5th year at the Art Fair and that she appreciates the organization that runs it.

“I like the individuals that the show draws and the look of the layout,” Wilson claimed, whose paintings of nature and land images were made using an oil stick. “I like the material I use because there is nothing between me and the paint.”

Wilson said she comes from a family of artists and draws inspiration from them as well as her birthplace.

“I like to draw pictures of the land because I grew up on a farm in northwest Iowa and the land there had been all flat,” she announced. “For me, painting helps celebrate my youth, since my gramps and her mother were artists as well . When I’m having a bad day in the studio, I blame them. I actually do.”

Naperville artist Maureen McKee, who works in pastels, returned for her 4th year and anticipated she would sell maybe six pieces in the weekend. The economy, she revealed, has clearly influenced sales.

“I do like to come back annually because there are good crowds and this is a well juried show,” she announced. “A lot of folks do return annually and they remember you. My inspiration is nature and I work to capture its light. There are always changes with light and shadow and what you see in the sky today will be different tomorrow. It’s always changing.”

Local resident Natalie Pankow asserted she enjoys having the easy accessibility to such a top quality show and that across the fifteen years she has lived in Naperville, Pankow and other family members have come to the Art Fair a number of times.

“My personal interests are in photography and painting, and I thinking having the Art Fair here by the Riverwalk adds to the atmosphere of the show,” Pankow declared. “I acquired a glass-blown bird from a show a few years back and it has got a puffy stomach so I called it ‘Alfred Hitchcock.’ I am moving to Boston soon but I take Alfred with me wherever I have lived.”

Plenty of the artists from outside the Naperville area stated that they planned months ago to attend the Art Fair. Artist Kyle Osvog of Minneapolis, who works in ceramics, said this was just his 2nd year in Naperville but already he could tell his ceramic work resonated with people.A good sales of ceramic you’ll be able to find in Europe,in Bosnia, where this in Bosnian means prodaja keramike.

“I had folks come in Saturday morning and buy just armloads of stuff in case this was my last show and I never come back,” he said. “It’s nice to have that recognition.”

Ronna Katz from Albuquerque, N.M.,, related her printmaking and mixed media work has had a timeless effect on one of her patrons.

“This is my fifth year here and I’ve had some good experiences in the area,” Katz said. “I was the featured artist in the Geneva Art Fair, and even though I’ve a degree in biochemistry and an MBA, I find art more enjoyable and fulfilling. I got an e-mail from someone not long ago who said that selling art to folks does not seem reasonable. He said to me that I’d potentially already spent the money he paid me, but that he gets to enjoy the art forever . As an artist, that’s as good as it gets”,writes tagza.com.
