Wine and Art Walk

Sip wine and shop for nature-themed art as you stroll around Meadow Lake.

On Saturday, August 15, and Sunday, August 16, visit The Morton Arboretum to sip wine, take in gorgeous summertime views of Meadow Lake, and browse nature-themed artworks.

The Wine and Art Walk juried art show features photography, woodturning, jewelry, painting, ceramics, fused glass, fiber arts, and more artworks created by more than 50 artists in the Midwest and beyond.

Artist booths will be located along Meadow Lake Trail, a paved, ADA accessible 0.6-mile path that loops around the Arboretum’s Meadow Lake, as well as along Tram Road, a paved road located behind the Children’s Garden.
