W E L C O M E !
Presented by 40 North | 88 West - Champaign County's Arts, Culture and Entertainment Council - the Boneyard Arts Festival is an annual four-day event showcasing the broad range of creative activity flourishing in our community. Its goal is to bring together local artists and businesses for a special event promoting the art that lives here.
More than a traditional arts walk, the Boneyard is a unique countywide celebration that takes place in a wide variety of venues (over 100!) - both traditional (clubs, galleries & museums) and non-traditional (ice cream shops & real estate offices) - and features the work of hundreds of artists.
Sculptors, weavers, painters, photographers and other visual artists join musicians, actors, dancers, poets and performers of all kinds in sharing their creativity throughout Champaign, Urbana, Campustown, Dewey, Rantoul and Sidney. 40 North invites artists to partner with local businesses, arts organizations, nonprofits, schools or municipal offices in hosting a performance or display of work...and join the celebration!

what's new
The Boneyard Arts Festival has grown! We've added a day to the festival roster in 2009, expanding the event to include Thursdays. And - just as important - we've designated a different day for each of the festival's four districts, making it even easier to experience the Boneyard to the fullest!
