60-plus artists to be featured in art league event Saturday and Sunday

Dozens of artists from all over the country will be in Winnetka this weekend for the annual Art in the Village juried show from the North Shore Art League.

The event will be from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, June 25-26, at Hubbard Woods Park, 939 Old Green Bay Road.

The artists will showcase everything from oil paintings and mixed media to photography and sculpture. Participating artists also have donated artwork to a silent auction that will raise money for the league, a nonprofit organization formed nearly 100 years ago (1924).

On Sunday, art league faculty member Lisa DePinto will do on-site oil portraits.
