Art of the Land Volunteer Signup 2026
Art of the Land is TLC's biggest fundraiser of the year. Several volunteers are needed to make this event a success! Enjoy inspiring artwork, hand-crafted artisan items, nature photography, live music, appetizers (included), and much more! Thirty percent of art sold supports The Land Conservancy of McHenry County’s mission to preserve our scenic, natural and agricultural lands. The show takes place at the beautiful Starline Factory, 306 W. Front Street in Harvard - a work of art in itself! And ... volunteers receive free admission to Art of the Land!
