This weekend a wonderful art festival is coming to Chicago. The Gold Coast Art Fair will take place June 18-19 in Grant Park. I cannot wait to attend with my family and report back to you all. I will receive media passes to cover the event.

Gold Coast Art Fair
Art. It’s what sets us apart from all other species on this planet. We have the ability to see, hear, feel, taste, smell, and appreciate talent. Art can invoke the full gambit of emotions and change your day. Having grown up surrounded by artists, I’ve been lucky to grow up with an appreciative eye. I love seeing what other people have in their minds. It’s truly beautiful.

With schools constantly cutting art programs, I find festivals like this to be even more important that ever. Bring the whole family out to experience this spectacular event!
