Amdur Productions, in coordination with the Village of Barrington, announces that the 15th Annual Barrington Art Festival. The Barrington Art Festival, is known for its grand mansions and horse farms, the affluent and vibrant Chicago suburb of Barrington boasts a wealthy population with a deep appreciation and buying history of art. Located 35 miles northwest of Chicago, the Village of Barrington is the commercial center of a cluster of affluent communities that stretches across two major counties.
The Festival takes place in the charming downtown of Barrington, filled with delectable cafes, unique boutiques and popular bars and restaurants. Store fronts range from turn of the century to modern. The festival layout has artists back to the curb with a main center walkway for visitors.
