Thanks to all the artists, performers, student groups, and NU and Evanston community members who made the 4th annual ArtsFest such a great success!

We so thoroughly enjoyed getting henna tattoos from SASA, watching the Renegade Dance Architects no once but TWICE, strolling through the aisles of incredible artwork, and celebrating springtime with such a happy, sunny day. Check out North by Northwestern’s article here.

We look forward to seeing you again next year!
