Staged always on the second weekend in July, the Festival is a showcase for local artists, a juried exhibition of fine art and unique and crafted work which features artists working in traditional, ethnic and experimental fine arts and crafts that relate to African-American themes, identity, history and culture, and underscores our mission of preserving the history and culture of the African-American experience.  Located on the grounds of the DuSable Museum of African American History, 740 East 56th Place, Chicago, IL.
