Fall is just around
the corner and The Schoolhouse Shop is enthusiastically preparing for the
26th Annual Celebration of the Arts, set for Saturday, September 20, from 10
a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, September 21, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. The event will be
held on the lovely historical grounds in Furnessville, the quaint village
near Chesterton adjacent to the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore Park.
There will be eight
new artists joining past favorites, displaying mediums of all varieties,
including a range of watercolor and oil painting, metal working, pottery,
and jewelry, along with sculpture, weaving and photography. Forty plus
exhibitors will grace the beautifully landscaped grounds.
Known as “your
hidden treasure”, the 1886 brick Schoolhouse offers over 6,500 square feet
of one stop, refined shopping. The Magic Pantry offers carefully chosen
gourmet food specialties, Dunes Clothiers is a boutique for both men and
women of discriminating taste, and Lake Effect Florals offers flower
arrangements for every occasion.
The Art Fair has no
charge for admission or parking. Santiago’s of Porter will cater lunch on
the patio. Mark your calendars for a truly wonderful weekend with a short
excursion to the Schoolhouse Shop.
