Highwood Last Call Art Fair

Amdur Productions wraps up its art festival season in Highwood with the Highwood Last Call Art Fair.  This unique art festival offers original works from masters in the field at incredibly discounted, end-of-season prices.  Although the prices are lower than at previous festivals, the integrity and quality of the artwork remains the same.  Young artists will also have the opportunity to sell their work at the Youth Art Division of the fair, which showcases original art from artists ages 18 and under.  

Festival-goers will also enjoy a behind the scenes look at how the artists make their original works with interactive art demos and booth chats taking place at the festival.  A schedule, which includes times and booth numbers, can be found on-site. 

Guests of the Fair will get to sample the food that put Highwood on the map with local restaurants on site offering "The Best of the Best!"  The public will have an opportunity to "pick favorites" and vote for the best dish in Highwood.

Fun art activities for kids add to the weekend’s festivities!  In preparation for Highwood's Pumpkin Fest, young festival-goers will have the chance to paint banners for the town's upcoming event.  A world-class pumpkin carver will also be on site demonstrating "The Art of Pumpkin Carving."  Young art enthusiasts will also have the opportunity to play an art scavenger hunt while exploring the festival.
