The Deerfield Fine Arts Commission will host a community open house at the Deerfield Library to showcase the more than 25 pieces selected for the fifth year of the Deerfield Public Art Program before they are put on display. The open house, which runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., will feature many of the artists who created this year’s pieces. Light refreshments will be served.

This year’s collection includes artists from Deerfield and many other from throughout the region. This year, the Fine Arts Commission specifically called for outdoor sculptures that would be suitable for display in the corner park at Deerfield and Waukegan Road. Watch for eye-catching pieces to go on display there this fall.

The specific artwork selected for display were chosen from submissions by a very talented pool of artists and were reviewed via jury process. The Fine Arts Commission is responsible for reviewing artwork submissions and making a final recommendation. The artists have agreed to loan their works of art for public display for up to one year.
