Established in 1954, the Deer Path Art League is a not-for-profit organization located in the heart of Lake Forest, Illinois. The mission of the Deer Path Art League is to spark, nurture and enhance creativity and promote community interest in the visual arts.
The Art Fair on the Square is the Deer Path Art League's signature event and our gift to the community. The Art Fair is a highly rated juried show that has become a cherished community event, drawing visitors from Chicago, Milwaukee, and over 22 suburban communities and attracting applications from hundreds of artists from around the country. The selected exhibitors work in a variety of disciplines, including ceramics, glass, graphics, printmaking, painting, and photography. We will celebrate our 70th Art Fair on the Square on Labor Day weekend, August 31-September 1, 2025.
