Monthly Art Exhibits

The Dandelion Gallery is a non-profit artist cooperative located on South Genesee Street in Waukegan’s growing Art District. The Dandelion Gallery strives for personal artistic growth and professionalism and is dedicated to exhibiting quality art. The Dandelion Gallery is an artist-run gallery committed to promoting art, artists, and art education in the community.

In collaboration with the city of Waukegan, the Dandelion Gallery hopes to revive, recharge, and reinvigorate the downtown area through exposition of fine art, music, and culture. What sets Dandelion Gallery apart from other art galleries? Every month the gallery displays an ENTIRELY NEW SHOW!

We are committed to keeping our patrons engaged and excited to see new art each month at the Dandelion. Our artists are committed to helping us make that happen by producing new art each month.

Monthly exhibits are shown on the third Saturday from 5-9 pm when the gallery is open to the public during ArtWauk.
