Art of the Land is one of TLC’s biggest fundraisers of the year, and celebrates the beauty of nature and open spaces. This juried event features the works of regional artists and artisans who draw their inspiration from the local landscape.

The event includes artwork, artisan items, nature photography contest, live music, appetizers, raffle prizes and much more! Thirty percent of art sold supports The Land Conservancy of McHenry County’s mission to preserve our scenic, natural and agricultural lands.

Art of the Land brings in hundreds of people who love nature, art and supporting our wonderful artists and artisans! 

Artists
Artist jury fee: $25 for up to five works of art. Additional entries $5 each.

Artisans
There is no jury fee for artisans. Each artisan pays a flat booth fee of $150 once accepted to the show. TLC does not keep a percentage of  artisan items sold. Please see the guidelines for more details.
