The “empty bowls” project offers the opportunity to purchase ceramic bowls made by The Clay People ceramic arts club of The ClaySpace Studio. These bowls are made of clay and are formed by using the potter’s wheel or various hand building techniques like slab or coil construction.  The Clay People donate their time and talents for a great cause. ALL proceeds from the “empty bowls” project and the silent auction are divided equally among local food pantries. ClaySpace located in Warrenville also has adult and kids classes and houses Gallery 107. For more information check http://www.clayspace.net or call 630-393-CLAY. Art Fair History The dream of an Art Fair for the community became a reality for The Naperville Woman's Club in 1960 when a small number of artists exhibited their work on benches in Central Park. Since then the numbers have grown as has the artists' sophistication. The show moved to the Martin Mitchell Estate in 1969 with the advent of the Naperville Park District before Naper Settlement was created. At 48, The Naperville Woman's Club Annual Art Fair is the longest continuously running art fair in Illinois.   Artist Applications Due February 15, 2008 Artist Notification March 30, 2008 Last Day for Refunds June 1, 2008 Show Date July 12-13, 2008 ______________________ Downloads • 2008 Application (PDF) Now Available ______________________ Show Links • Naper Settlement • Map and Directions
