The Farms: Artisan Village “Open House”

Learn more about the future facilities of The Farms: An Allerton Folk School during an Artisan Village “Open House” on Saturday, May 4 (3-5 p.m.) and Sunday, May 5 (11 a.m.-1 p.m.) in the Artisan Village.

Take some time during the Bluebell Festival to stop by the Artisan Village (the area across the road from the Visitor Center) and learn about plans to convert this maintenance area into usable programming space. See the newly renovated Studio and chat with Allerton Director, Derek Peterson, about our vision to renovate an Allerton-original shed and current maintenance shop into accessible facilities for education and engagement.

This is a great opportunity to see the “before” and learn more about all of the exciting updates happening at Allerton!

No registration is necessary, just stop by for this “open house” style, informal event!

If you will need disability-related accommodations to participate, please email Bridget Frerichs at bridgetf@illinois.edu.
