It is a multi-experience festival of art and music. Founded in 2006 by Rees Carillon Society Board Member, Barb Walker, Art Spectacular is a professionally juried fine art and craft show featuring collector- and museum-quality works of art and crafts. Over two days, Art Spectacular attracts approximately 5,000 to 6,000 attendees. Works of art and crafts range from $50 to $7,500.

This year we are happy to bring art lovers an opportunity to enjoy the original craftsmanship of very talented Artists while abiding by the PHASE 4 Covid-19 requirements. Together we can embrace the new rules, support the Artists, and enjoy hourly carillon performances on a Springfield treasure, the Carillon Bells in Washington Park.

Phase 4 of Covid-19 Requirements Enforced:

Face Mask Required, Touchless Temperature Check, Hand Sanitizing, Social Distancing with Capacity Restriction, and One-Way Directional Flow.

There will be only one entrance: the sidewalk from the Fayette Avenue parking lot.

In keeping with Phase 4 of the 2020 COVID-19 requirements, this year’s art fair will not include the ‘usual’ extra features, but it will include exciting, original, and creative artwork. Instead of the on-site Silent Auction, you are invited to participate in an on-line virtual silent auction with many terrific offerings, from food to vacations, which will benefit the Rees Memorial Carillon. It can be accessed between September 11 and September 20 at http://artspectacular.afrogs.org

Please come and enjoy a day outside in the fresh air, view and purchase beautiful, original artwork and listen to the Bells of the Carillon. Twyford Food Truck will be on-site for Grab and Go meals.
