Oak Street Art (www.oakstreetart.com) is a collective of artists living and working in southern Illinois. Our mission is to nurture connections between art and our community through advocacy, education, and practice. Our vision? is that ?art is for everyone, as a supporter of living life well.
Each April, the Oak Street Art Fair is a celebration of art and music in the historic General John A. Logan neighborhood of Murphysboro, Illinois (near the intersection of Oak and 16th Streets). Artists from around the region bring their work out of the studio and onto the brick street to show and sell while enjoying casual conversation with visitors. Meanwhile, some of the area's most beloved musicians perform on the Oak Leaf Stage for a free all-day concert. All this and structured children's art activities make for a fun day for families and singles alike!
