The Arts Festival will be held at Douglas Park Cultural Center, 1401 S. Sacramento Ave., on Saturday, August 5, 2017 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. There will be no charge to patrons of the Festival.
The Arts Festival will showcase the works of local artists and the talents of local entertainment. NLCCC plans to use the Arts Festival to bring the already rich culture of North Lawndale to a broader audience. We expect more than 1,000 people to attend including elected officials, heads of public agencies, leaders of community-based organizations and local residents. The Arts Festival will unify the community, attract more arts and cultural activities, encourage economic development and help make the case for improving the entire community.
