BBAACCKKGGRROOUUNNDD--On August 6, 1974, the DuSable Museum held its first

Art Festival just one year after the museum moved to

its present location in Washington Park. Eight artistsparticipated that year! Key amongst them wereMargaret Burroughs and Sophie Wessel, who came up

with the idea to organize this event which now eachyear hosts nearly 200 artists and crafts people.

Today, the festival is known as the DuSable MuseumsArts and Crafts Festival and is in its thirty-ninth year.The Festival is a showcase for local artists, anexhibition of fine art and unique and hand-crafted

work which features artists working in traditional,ethnic and experimental fine arts and crafts that relate

to African-American themes, identity, history andculture, and underscores our mission of preserving thehistory and culture of the African-American experience. We also celebrate Dr. Margaret Burroughs (1915-2010), Founderof the DuSable Museum of African American History.
