Established in 1954, the Deer Path Art League is a not-for-profit organization located in the heart of Lake Forest, Illinois. Our mission is to spark, nurture and enhance creativity and promote community interest in visual arts.

The annual Art Fair on the Square is the Deer Path Art League’s signature event and our gift to the community. The Art Fair is a highly rated juried show that has become a cherished community event, drawing visitors from Chicago, Milwaukee; and over 22 suburban communities and attracting applications from hundreds of artists from around the country. The selected exhibitors work in a variety of disciplines, including ceramics, glass, graphics, printmaking, painting, and photography. The artists set up their outdoor galleries around historic Market Square in downtown Lake Forest, IL. This centralized arrangement makes it easy for visitors to walk the entire show. “Not too big and not too small”, the show is the perfect size to comfortably visit and interact with the artists.
