The Fourth Annual Little Village Art Festival is looking for you!

For the past four years VILLARTE along with the help of Artists, Photographers, Performers, Educators, Students and others have converted empty storefronts, businesses and community centers into spaces of art and creativity for this three‐day event! Please join us as we once again celebrate the beauty of our community!

  • 3D (Sculpture, Installation, Assemblage, etc)

We are accepting works from Artists in all levels of experience
