Looking to Showcase Your Art?
The Art & Culture Commission of Lemont/Lemont Center for the Arts recently started collaborating with Pollyanna Brewing Company located in Lemont Downtown at 431 Talcott Ave, Lemont, IL to create The Gallery Room, a rotating art gallery that celebrates local creators.
An individual's artwork is on display for 6-8 weeks inside the brewery and the artist has the option to host an opening reception. A few pictures are attached of past exhibitions.
The ACC and Pollyanna are looking for artists to promote in 2025.
If you are interested in showing your work or for more information, please email Brad Tammaro directly at: info@bradtammaro.com

While being a separate organization from LAG, the Lemont Art and Culture Commission was formerly housed at Lemont Center for the Arts (LCA). It had exhibits of original artwork and a gift shop with jewelry and handcrafted gifts from local artists on display and for sale. The Lemont Art & Culture Commission is a group of seven appointed members with the mission of enriching the community by cultivating and promoting the appreciation of our heritage through public Art. The Commission has completed several community art projects to date including the downtown mosaic planters at the Village Hall and along Stephen Street; the Stephen Street Bridge mosaics; and the "Pride of Lemont" mural on Front Street. The Lemont Center for the Arts location was run with the commissioners and volunteers, some of which were also LAG members. They had to to close their location at 1243 State Street in Lemont, IL, but are in search of finding a new location. Please support the Lemont Art and Culture Commission and if you want to volunteer or have any ideas for a location in Lemont, please visit their website and contact them or see their email, below.
