Visitors can enjoy art and interact with local artists.

Over 20 artists will display and sell their works. A percentage of the proceeds will benefit the Darien Arts Center.

Entertainment will be provided by musicians and dancers. There will be artists with easels and painting demonstrations. Food vendors and carts will be on site with French themed food like crepes and pastries.

Organizer, artist Nobu Miki said the event is in keeping with her vision to "revitalize and re-engage the local artistic community."

The all-day exhibit is themed on the northern section of Paris where painters like Renoir, Picasso and Modigliani lived and worked from 1872 to 1914 in the shadow of Basilica Sacre Coeur.

Rain date for the event is Oct. 3.
