Art dans la Rue  - Ooh la la!

Downtown Oak Park will host the Oak Park Arts District and the Oak Park Area Arts Council in a mini-celebration of the arts on Thursday, August 6, from 5-9pm on Marion and Lake Streets. Art dans la Rue (Art in the Streets) will feature local artistic talent who will showcase visual arts such as glass blowing and painting, the performing arts, including music and dance, and also the more spiritual art of yoga.
