How to plan your visit
When and where: October 3–4; Woodstock Square, Illinois. Confirm visitor information with Amdur Productions. Check access, admission and parking details before departure, especially if you are traveling from outside the area.
For an outdoor event, check the forecast and bring a light layer or basic weather protection for purchases. Make a complete first pass before buying when the layout allows; it gives you useful context and makes the return to a favorite booth more deliberate.
Meet the artists, not just the objects
Give yourself permission to slow down. The strongest part of an art-show visit is often the moment when a maker explains why a material or process mattered. Keep questions specific and let the maker set the pace if other visitors are waiting.
