Art in Wilder Park Fine Art Festival

The only outdoor art festival of its kind hosted by an art museum, Art in Wilder Park values artistic expression and strives to provide a strong platform for artists to fund their creative practice forward. The festival garnered standout coverage last year in outlets such as the Chicago Tribune and Daily Herald. Attracting a multigenerational and diverse crowd— the festival is not only a cultural highlight but an economic boost for participating artists and community businesses.

Open Call - Par Excellence Redux

Call for Proposals 
Par Excellence Redux
curated by Christopher Jobson, founder of Colossal
Elmhurst Art Museum

In a unique collision of recreation and art, the Elmhurst Art Museum will commission an 18-hole artist-designed golf course in homage to the wildly popular 1988 exhibition Par Excellence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The fully playable course will be conceived and fabricated by a new group of contemporary artists, designers, and architects selected through an open call process. Designed to fill the entirety of the museum’s interior galleries, the course will be comprised of a surprisingly varied collection of themes and forms, promising an unusual twist on a familiar pastime.
