Art on the Square


  • Belleville Square 16 East Main Street Belleville, IL, 62220 United States (map)

We’re excited to announce that Emerald Art Gallery will be part of this year’s Art on the Square, one of the top-ranked fine art festivals in the country. Held in the heart of downtown at the beautiful and historic Belleville Public Square, this event brings together exceptional artists, collectors, and art lovers for a weekend of creativity, culture, and community.

Belleville Public Square is known for its charming architecture, walkable layout, and welcoming atmosphere—making it a perfect setting for a weekend art celebration. Surrounded by local shops, cafés, and restaurants, visitors can enjoy both the artwork and the small-town warmth that defines this community.

Renowned artist Leon F. Ruiz will be showcasing a fresh collection of original paintings, including his newest works inspired by urban skylines, coastal regattas, and vibrant Floridian landscapes. Leon’s bold textures and energetic brushwork have made him a festival favorite—and we’re thrilled to share his work with the Belleville community once again.

As part of our 2025 Summer Art Festival Tour, this stop is one of many where you’ll find us celebrating art in cities across the Midwest and beyond.

🎨 Stop by our booth to say hello, explore Leon’s latest originals, and find the perfect piece to bring home.

Belleville’s downtown area offers ample free parking within walking distance of the square.
