Founding Fest Organizer, Alan J. Goldberg
The Glenwood Avenue Arts Fest is a production of the Glenwood Ave Arts District, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation.
The first Glenwood Ave Arts Fest was organized in 2002 by Alan J. Goldberg. It was called the Glenwood Avenue Arts District Outrageous Open Studio Walk and Succulent Street Fair. The name has been subsequently shortened.
We remember the contributions of Neil Lifton. His spirit lives on in our celebration of our neighborhood, art, and music.
