Your entry fee to 4th Fridays also admits you into the Dole’s underground speakeasy, Lou’s Lounge for a LIVE music experience featuring Jimmy Marquis, the 3rd featured performer in the Singer-Songwriter Showcase beginning 8:30pm.

4th Fridays is made possible by a large culture of committed volunteers who believe that keeping the arts alive and thriving in a community is beyond important. And doing that in a fresh + fun innovative monthly art event in an historic venue is one really great way to do that!

Nancy Merkling Productions’ 4th Fridays Art Event started at The Starline in Harvard in April 2011 and moved to The Dole Mansion in Crystal Lake in October 2019. We start our 2024 Season with our 98th event. Whoa, right?
