Big Picture Arts Festival 2018 in the Peoria Warehouse District

Saturday October 13, 2018 was a historic day for Peoria. The first annual Big Picture Peoria Arts Festival splashed through the Warehouse District! We were amazed by Peoria’s talent and support of the arts. Amazing is an understatement!

Over 1500 people came through to enjoy live painting, a chalk art competition, community murals, dancing, singing, a film fest, live music, and street food. The community worked together to complete a collaborative mural while professional, international artist Ard Doko created a spray paint masterpiece, all in the Gabbert Art Park! The chalk art competition transformed our parking lots with windows into other worlds. All proceeds went toward local art education.

We are excited to partner with local businesses and artists again next year to make this festival even bigger and better! Read more here: https://www.bigpicturepeoria.org/. To submit artwork to be featured on our rotating mural wall or to share your ideas for next year’s Big Picture Peoria, please fill in the contact form at the bottom of the page.

    Central Illinois homeowners reach out to C.T. Gabbert Remodeling and Construction for comprehensive design-build home remodeling services. Since 1978, the firm has been upgrading homes with its small- and large-scale additions, kitchen and bathroom redesigns, and other remodeling solutions. C.T. Gabbert also offers a showroom in the bustling Peoria Warehouse District and a full-service woodshop where it duplicates and constructs custom cabinetry and millwork.

    The firm’s proven process and the team’s attention to detail and open lines of communication, finely tuned over time, culminate in the creation of spaces that marry form and function. One example is this unique kitchen with an accent backsplash. Bold chevron-patterned tile and glass pendant lights over the island give the space a distinct personality. Meanwhile, clean white perimeter cabinets lend contrast to the dark custom island, which provides additional counter space and kitchen seating.

    Peoria Magazine’s June 2020 issue, written by Doug & Eileen Leunig, mentions C.T. Gabbert Remodeling and Construction’s amazing work in the art community. Even though the world is on pause, we are looking towards and discussing the future. C.T. Gabbert is a strong supporter of the arts community helping cultivate Peoria’s creative future.

    “With nearly 40 public murals in Peoria today, many building owners are already believers. ‘My initial vision was to allow artists who may not be able to show their work in public very easily to have a venue,’ explains Chuck Gabbert of C.T. Gabbert Remodeling & Construction. ‘I created the CT Gabbert Art Park with interchangeable murals in the parking lot of my business. I want to give people a reason to smile, and art does that.’”
