This year (September 27-28) was the 50th anniversary of ART IN THE BARN which featured 160 juried artists. It is held on the grounds of Good Shepherd Hospital along Highway 22 in Barrington, IL.

Art in the Barn was started in 1974 when a group of ten women and local artists met to develop a quality art event for the Barrington community.  

What began as an art show with 30 artists and 1,500 attendees has grown to be one of the most iconic and highest quality art festivals in the Chicagoland area. With more than 49 years of momentum, this beautiful event draws returning art lovers and new visitors from the surrounding area where they enjoy not only the exhibition and sale of fine art, but also music and entertainment, food from a variety of vendors, and children's art. 

Art in the Barn is one of the major fund-raisers for Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital which has donated millions to the hospital. It is sponsored by the Auxiliary of Good Shepherd Hospital.
