This March and April, the Village Hall Art Gallery will feature Art Contest submissions by Northfielders of all ages.  The Village partnered with the Northfield Park District in January and February to collect art from the community that answers the question, “Why do you love Northfield?”

The contest received 129 submissions, ranging from photographs taken in backyard gardens to crayon drawings of local parks.  You can view the artwork and make your vote any time Village Hall is open, Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM-4:30 PM through April 30.  There is a limit of one vote per person.

The winning piece will be announced May 1 and will be celebrated at the Northfield Park District’s Market and Music program all summer.  If you have any suggestions on how to bring art to our community, please send them to mdefeo@northfieldil.org.
