The Art Association of Jacksonville has rescheduled its 2022 Lawn Party from this weekend because of potential inclement weather.

The 34th annual Edwards Place Fine Art Fair will be Saturday and Sunday on the lawn of Springfield Art Association’s historic Edwards Place in downtown Springfield.

Regional artists will display and sell prints, paintings, jewelry, wearable art, ceramics, woodwork and glass in a variety of styles and range of prices.

Live music also will be featured, along with glass-blowing demonstrations in the association’s Baima Glass Studio, a chance to participate in a Raku ceramic firing, and free self-guided tours of Edwards Place. A guided “servants’ tour” will be available at 1 p.m. each day for $5.

Food trucks, art-related games, art projects to make and take and a photo booth for guests and their pets also will be available.

Proceeds benefit the association’s ongoing programs to provide educational opportunities in the visual arts.

Hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. For the full schedule and a complete list of participating artists, go online to springfieldart.org.

Edwards Place is at 700 N. Fourth St. in Springfield.
