CharmQuest 815 is a new Rockford tradition in the making!
This event is a citywide art experience where handmade ceramic pieces—created by Womanspace artists in collaboration with Three Ravens Pottery, Inferno Clay Studio, and Misty Lane Ceramics—are quietly placed throughout the Rockford area, waiting to be discovered.
Beginning on Rockford Day (August 15), these one-of-a-kind creations will appear in parks, paths, and gathering spaces, offering unexpected moments of surprise, creativity, and connection. Find one, and it’s yours to keep—part of a new tradition celebrating local art and 815 pride.
Keep an eye on our social media for more info!
Generously sponsored by The City of Rockford, Casondra Rowley AAMS®, Edward Jones, and EnVogue Salon (Denver).
