A 50-year tradition of creativity and community continues this September 27 and 28.
From its humble origins with just 30 artists and 1,500 attendees, Art in the Barn has grown to showcase the works of over 175 juried artists, drawing more than 5,000 art enthusiasts each year. This year, celebrating its 50th season set against the picturesque backdrop of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital’s sprawling grounds in Barrington, Art in the Barn continues to celebrate the vibrant intersection of art and community in a uniquely enchanting setting.
The force behind this artful experiential masterpiece is led by Sharon Vogel, Art in the Barn’s co-chair for the past 24 years. Joining her is co-chair Megan Clarke.

Their combined efforts and dedication help bring this cherished event to life, making it a beloved part of the local scene.
