We had our wedding reception at the Artisan's Building in November 2025. Tammy at IDOA was great to work with and very responsive! Their pricing is very reasonable. We used "I Do Events" to decorate and "Elston Cleaning" for janitorial services. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out!
Such an insanely beautiful wedding venue, especially when we add draping and lighting from the ceiling.
Visiting the 2023 IL State Fair. Enjoying the wine tasting going on in this building is fantastic. Off the regular path, cool and relaxing. Great place to showcase Illinois great wines and wineries.
Because the state fair finally put the IL Wine exibitors back in the room which is a great experience.
It is good to see that in spite of all the industrialization hand crafted art and food still exists.
The artisan building at the State fairgrounds has been remodeled and is a wonderful place to host an event or to visit while you're at the fair. I have been to weddings and other affairs there and found that it is a very comfortable environment to enjoy with patio balconies outside available to relax and take in The view.
