Picket Fence Art Show

1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

The 20th Picket Fence Art Show, sponsored by the Richfield Historical Society and the Richfield-Hinckley Art Group, will be held on Sunday, Aug. 14, from 1-5 p.m. in the Johnson Barn located within Richfield Woods Park (4100 Broadview Rd.). This prestigious art event originated with Theo and Ane Marie Kirk who hosted a weekly art group at their home and restaurant, then known as the Danish Smorgasbord. The art group organized and held the original outdoor art show, known as “The Picket Fence Art Show,” where framed artwork hung on a snow fence, back in the mid-1950s and 60s. Admission remains free to the public. Original framed art, ceramics, photography, jewelry and fine crafts will be offered for sale.
