Theme: All Together Now
We’re excited to welcome you back to the beloved Artists of the Wall festival this Father’s Day weekend — June 14–15, 2025 from 9AM to 3PM — at Loyola Park’s iconic lakefront wall, stretching from Farwell to Morse Avenue at the Lake.
WALK-UP SPOTS
A limited number of walk‑up painting spots will be released on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. These spaces are first‑come, first‑served and are very limited this year.
VOLUNTEER AT THE FESTIVAL
Want to be part of the magic behind the scenes? We’re looking for volunteers to help with setup, hospitality, kids’ art activities, and cleanup throughout the weekend. It's a great way to support local art, meet neighbors, and enjoy the festival from a new perspective.
Shifts are flexible, and all volunteers receive a free Artists of the Wall T-shirt!
