Starved Rock State Park announced Saturday the annual Starved Rock Art Show is officially open for public viewing and voting.

Visitors can cast their votes for their favorite artwork until Feb. 28 in the Kaskaskia Room, which is situated near the front desk of the Visitor Center. The Visitor Center is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., but closed on Lincoln’s Birthday and President’s Day.

An artist reception and award ceremony will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 1, at the Starved Rock Visitor Center to celebrate the creativity of those artists who entered the show.

All state park programs are free but donations to the Starved Rock Foundation on site are welcome. Most programs at the park are made possible through funding from donations to the Starved Rock Foundation, the nonprofit friends group at the park (not to be confused with the Starved Rock Community Foundation).
