Chicago’s legendary Old Town Art Fair is proud to unveil its first specially-commissioned poster to celebrate the Fair’s landmark 75th Anniversary, taking place June 14-15, 2025. Featuring the work of local artist Chuck Meyers, who has been a full-time Chicago painter for 23 years and exhibited at the Old Town Art Fair for over 10 years, Soaring Around Old Town is a portrait of the Old Town Triangle created from multiple drone photography sessions throughout the neighborhood. Meyers’ work is inspired by his fascination by the transportation, alleys, and side streets that make Chicago distinctly recognizable.
Established in 1948, the Old Town Art Fair is one of Chicago’s oldest juried art fairs and one of the first fine art fairs of its kind in the country. Each year, the Old Town Art Fair selects an existing work by an exhibiting artist for its commemorative poster. Soaring Around Old Town is the Old Town Art Fair’s first commissioned work for a poster and joins a colorful history of collectible posters; a rich online library showcasing the dynamic evolution of 75 years of posters
