{span style=”font-size: 12px;”}KANE — The Art in the Wilds committee has announced plans for the 2025 show and invites artists and artisans to apply for this annual juried fine art and fine craft event.{/span}

The 2025 Art in the Wilds will take place on June 28-29, 2025, in Evergreen Park in Kane. Applications are now open, and the deadline for artists to apply to exhibit their work in the show is March 1, 2025.

A panel of judges will carefully review submissions, evaluating works for their quality, strong visual impact, and mastery of craft. The committee strives to create a balanced showcase of diverse media, highlighting the exceptional talent of artists from our region and beyond. Selected artists will be notified by the end of March. New artists are especially encouraged to apply.

Kane’s annual art show will run rain or shine, with artist setup available on the afternoon of Friday, June 28, followed by an artist reception that evening.

Art in the Wilds is dedicated to showcasing original, handmade art. Some items, however, are not eligible for the show. They include commercial or mass-produced items; works made from kits, molds or patterns; items featuring logos; or dried florals, calendars, personal care products or edible goods.

Artists can apply online through Zapplication.com (accessible via www.artinthewilds.org or directly at www.zapplication.org, search “Art in the Wilds”). Applications must include an artist statement, a description of the creative process (particularly for unique media), and seven high- quality images of the artist’s work.
