The Art Walk showcases the works of talented professional and student artists in restaurants and businesses in downtown Skokie. Live activities held noon-5 p.m. May 18. Visitors are invited to pick up an Art Walk map; meet the artists; listen to roaming musicians; enjoy plein air artists paint outdoors; hear jazz musicians play in Memorial Park; and attend Open Mic Performances at Gorilla Tango/Skokie Theatre. Kids 3-16 can create their own art at three locations: Bughouse Studio, Lincoln Terrace Art Studio & Gallery and Mosaic Montessori/Early Childhood.

The exhibition, created by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, explores the history of our 16th President, from his boyhood to his last years in office. Includes various family-friendly events.

Maggie is over five feet tall and features a working udder that recirculates the water that children "milk."
