41st Annual Wells Street Art Festival

The Old Town Merchants and Residents Association is excited to host the Wells Street Art Festival on Saturday, June 13th & Sunday, June 14th, beginning at 11:00am each day.

 
Throughout the weekend, Wells Street will host more more than 225 amazingly talented local, regional and inter/national juried artists. Among the many disciplines featured this year are traditional paint, watercolor and pencil art, sculpture, wood and metalwork, jewelry, digital artwork and photography.

Main gates are located on Wells Street at North Avenue, and Wells Street at Division Street.

 
The suggested donation is $10, with all proceeds going toward neighborhood improvement projects and direct donations to support community organizations.


 
This year, we've also introduced a special VIP Pre-Sale Package that includes two gate donations, four food tickets, two beverage tickets and two souvenir cups. This $60 package is available for $40 using code 'OTMRA'.

         Calling All Volunteers!


If you love Old Town and want to share what you know with the 50,000 projected attendance, please consider taking a shift at our Information Booth. Volunteers will direct festival-goers on where to eat, what to see and what to do!

We'll also be bringing back our Artist Hospitality Center for this year's Wells Street Art Festival , where the 200+ participating artists can take a break from their day, get some refreshments and talk with fellow artists.

If interested in volunteering for the OTMRA information booth and/or the artist's hospitality center, please contact Kevin Barbeau by email or by calling the OTMRA office at 312.951.6106 .
