The Fine Fiber & Folk Art Show is expanding this year! It will be from July 7-August 15 in three lovely gallieries on the campus of McHenry County College. We expect literally thousands to visit, especially during the days of the fair!

Gallery One at MCC

Our art show is the inspiration part of the fair! It is presented by our partner, the northwest area arts council (naac). Naac has over 20 years experience putting on shows like "Women's Works" a nationally significant fine art show showcasing the talents of contemporary women artists, and "Little Women's Works", as well as local exhibitions and shows. To learn more about the northwest area arts council (naac) (they like the small letters), visit their site at www.naac4art.org.
