2025 Featured Artist
While we're selecting our 2025 featured artist, please help us thank 2024 featured artist is Ed Pribyl of McHenry, Illinois again. Ed has been creating his original wood sculptures for nearly 30 years. His love for old advertising, vintage toys, and humorous pop culture has inspired him to create work that is truly reflective of the past, while presenting it in a very contemporary way. Ed was a crowd favorite during the 2024 show with his clasic cowgirl customer made just for the Brookside Art Annual featured on commemorative shirts, posters, and cards.
