I’ve recently been re-watching Gilmore Girls which reminded me that I live in my own Stars Hollow. My Main Street just underwent 3 months of construction which was tough on our small businesses but we kept block parties and wine walks going to keep foot traffic coming. To celebrate the brand-new sidewalks and un-pot-holed smooth […]
Hi! It’s been a couple of years… After my last holiday market at the DANK Haus in 2019 I took a temporary job that turned permanent, which was fortuitous as the Pandemic unfolded and Art Fair markets shut down. My art-making went dormant for a while, and with my computer getting clunky my blog went […]
While I don’t have any pop ups in October, I am still part of the ongoing Flora, Fauna and Fascination exhibit. Ice House Gallery owner Hannah Litvan curated a beautiful array of artists who each have their own unique artistic expression of nature themes. The opening night was packed, and I was thrilled to see […]
This weekend I have two exciting events. On Saturday my goddess design makes its debut at Nasty Women Evanston. Then on Sunday I will be part of a literal trunk show in Downtown Evanston. In conjunction with Evanston’s Oktoberfest, Evanston Made is hosting a Maker’s Market on the 5th Floor of the Maple Street Garage. […]
Evanston Made is ending next week, but not without a plethora of events for you to peruse the fabulous art in this month-long event. The organizers are making sure you still have opportunities to visit the venues you may have missed earlier this month. On Wednesday, June 26, the filmmakers of SIDE/Lot will be at […]
From my view, it looks like Evanston Made had a bigger turnout than last year. 110 artists were represented on the map, and stop #17, Artem Pop Up Gallery, had plenty of visitors. We ran out of print maps long before the allotted 5 pm tour end, and several people found us through the google […]
Phew, what a week it has been! On Wednesday I helped set up the Evanston Made pop up shop at the Evanston Art Center, and the shop and exhibit were both packed during Friday’s opening party. The group show is amazing, and worth a perusal. Several artists already had red dots early in the night, […]
On Saturday a plethora of local artists will open their studios to offer a glimpse at their methodology and creative habitats to the public. This once-a-year event is a wonderful way to get to know Evanston better and appreciate the creativity that abounds in our city. I don’t want to make anyone climb three flights […]
I am so excited for this upcoming weekend! I am tagging and preparing ornaments and stakes to be part of the month-long pop up shop at the Evanston Art Center in conjunction with Evanston Made. On Friday, May 31, the Evanston Art Center will be teeming with local artists and their friends for the Evanston […]
It’s been a wonderfully social few weeks for me, with Evanston Made being a key theme. 1100 Florence hosted the very first Evanston Made Member mixer, which gave us an overview of membership and allowed us to network amongst ourselves. I met new-to-me artists and also interacted with those I had met at prior Evanston […]
