Now that we’ve dried out from the rainy 78th annual Greenwich Village Art Fair we want to take a moment to say a huge ‘thank you’ to everyone who helped make the fair possible.

First, to our generous sponsors: Joan Stonecipher in honor of Lon Behr; Bergstrom, Inc., Anne + David Boccignone, Dean Alan Olson Foundation, Dick Behr, J.R. Kortman Center for Design, Cathy + Rob Funderburg; Midland States Bank, Hickerson Family; Lana Paris + Don Zwiefelhofer; IL State Credit Union; Armory 815, Aqua-Aerobic Systems, Inc., City of Rockford, Holly Johnson; Anderson Toyota Scion Lexus of Rockford, Lincoln Rent-All + Sales, Inc., Rockford Area Arts Council, Rockford Association for Minority Management, Sjostrom & Sons Foundation, Waterside Financial Advisors, LLC., and Williams McCarthy LLP.

Also to the hearty artists that were able to stick it out through the weekend (be sure to ‘shop’ them through the greenwichvillageartfair.com website), our amazing volunteers, food trucks, vendors, musicians and Greenwich committee–without you the fair couldn’t happen.

Finally, to all of you that came out to support Rockford Art Museum and this year’s incredible artists, we are so grateful and hope you found a treasure or two! Looking forward to next year!
