About Affair of the Arts

The mission of Affair of the Arts is to promote the Fine Arts in McHenry County.

Originally, two events were sponsored in Spring Grove and Ringwood:Spittler-photography Art Market, held at the home of Amy Guanci in Spring Grove, Illinois, and Holiday Art Open House, held in the home of Gabi Sparacio in Ringwood, Illinois.

 

Indovina-Valus-photographyThrough several years of successful shows, we have supported each other's efforts to bring the Arts alive. In 2009, the show committees decided to merge the events into a larger show, held in a venue which could provide an open setting and room to grow. The Shores of Turtle Creek graciously offered their setting. Turtle Creek is located less than a mile from Route 12 in Spring Grove. The rolling, wooded grounds, complete with water features, beautiful landscaping, and adequate parking, provides a lovely setting for a Fine Art Event. We thank you for visiting our site, and hope that you will attend and enjoy the Affair of the Arts for years to come.
