90 Artists
Deadline: July 31
Edgewater is a lakefront community area on the North Side of Chicago. Our event got its start during the economic downturn when residents of the area decided to fill our empty storefronts with art. This simple activity turned the neighborhood around as the storefronts soon filled up again with new tenants, leaving no room to display the art.
Building on this economic activity, in 2013 the Edgewater Fall Art Fair was started. In its first year it drew about 5000 people and was described by 48th Ward Alderman Harry Osterman and many attendees as "phenomenal."
- an eclectic mix of fine art and fine craft
- local performing artists and area musicians
- beer garden
Spaces are $150.
This is your chance to be part of a newer event where the community is eager for a successful show that will show off their cool neighborhood. Spend a beautiful fall weekend in Edgewater with us.
