Special Events

Join Countryside Association and support one of our wonderful fundraisers:

Countryside invites you to enjoy the first evening of summer at Art in the Countryside, Friday, June 20th from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m.

Over 70 of our clients, aged 21 to 70+, will exhibit work in an array of media and many will be on hand to discuss their creations.

The event is FREE and all pieces of artwork will be available for sale via silent auction with the majority of the proceeds going to the artist-client.

Light hors d'oeuvres, wine, and refreshments will be served.

The event will take place at Countryside Center in Palatine 21154 West Shirley Road (north of Plum Grove at its intersection with Route 12).
