Artists of the Corn

Artists of the Corn is a Central Illinois based artist collective dedicated to keeping artists ARTING. We formed in August 2020 as a small group of friends who make but couldn’t sell our work due to art shows being cancelled. So, we decided to run our own art shows. Now, with eight art shows under our belts, we’re working on our 9th and 10th events!

If you’re a Midwest-based artist and would like to be considered for a future Art Market please send 3 images of your work and a booth shot to ArtistsoftheCorn@gmail.com. Please include a brief bio and any links you think might be helpful. We will add you to the list of potential guest artists and if we think you’d be a good fit we’ll be in touch!
