The Illinois Artisans Program is looking for talented artisans.
All areas of arts and crafts, including folk, traditional, contemporary, and ethnic, as well as fine art forms are eligible.
Created in 1985 by Governor James R. Thompson, the program provides economic and exhibition opportunities for Illinois artists. Once juried, artisans participate in art sprees, craft festivals and exhibitions.
The Illinois Artisans Program focuses national attention on the rich heritage of the fine crafting that exists in Illinois. Over its 30-year history, the program has expanded across the state from The James R. Thompson Center to inside The Illinois State Museum’s Museum Store and The Southern Illinois Art & Artisans Center.
For additional information, call the Southern Illinois Art & Artisans Center at 629-2220.
The Artisans Center is located at 14967 Gun Creek Trail next to the Rend Lake Golf Course
