Ela Fine Arts Show:

About the Ela Fine Arts Show

The Ela Fine Arts Show is a juried exhibition and sale of fine arts and fine crafts held the second weekend of June at Deer Park Town Center, a beautiful upscale shopping center in Deer Park, Illinois. Cultural Arts Connection has been hosting art shows since 1996 – with our first show as part of the Ela Festival of Arts in Paulas Park. The 2008 Ela Fine Arts Show at Deer Park Town Center has been cancelled due to lack of a location.
