PORTAGE PARK — Art lovers are expected to flock to the Far Northwest Side this weekend as part of the Figment Festival's effort to turn a Chicago park into a participatory art exhibit.
The Figment Festival, which features just about every type of art imaginable except the kind that hangs on walls or sits in a gallery, returns from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Wilson Park, 4630 N. Milwaukee Ave.
The festival did not take place in 2015, a year after moving to Jefferson Memorial Park. The first Figment Festival took place in Garfield Park.
Some of the projects to be featured include a stuffed animal adoption center, a walk-through "faerieshrine" and a bring-your-own tie-dye tent, organizers said.
