The Mosaics Fine Art Festival returns to St. Charles as it continues to support artists and foster diversity and vitality of the arts By Brett Auten Consider it the hidden gem of the St. Charles festival circuit. The Mosaics Fine Art Festival will host its 27th annual event beginning Sept. 16 from 4 to 9 p.m. and will continue on through 4p.m. on Sunday. The family-friendly event is free and will be held along several blocks of North Main St. in historic St. Charles. The three-day festival includes approximately 80 juried artists from more than 15 states who will exhibit artwork available
for purchase. Media categories include clay, drawing, glass, leather, metal, pastel, oil/ acrylic, photography, printmaking, sculpture, watercolor, and wood. A total of $5,000 will be awarded to the top 10 artists. “We fill a nice niche,” Denise Wullf, the festival association president, said. “The diversity of artwork, you just don’t see at your traditional fair or festival.” The Mosaics Fine Art Festival is a nonprofit organization that showcases local and regional artists while educating the community’s children and adults in how art can
enhance their lives. The festival features a wide array of artwork produced by a mix of emerging, mid-career and established artists in all media. The event is put on by the Mosaics Fine Art Festival Association that was established to create and foster diversity and vitality of the arts and to broaden the availability, education, participation and appreciation of the arts throughout the community through the formulation of an art festival.
