Upcoming Events

Come out and discover artists working in all the different neighborhoods of Chicago and the regions of Lake Michigan! Find local metalsmiths, woodworkers, ceramicists, weavers, designers, printmakers, book artists, papermakers, and more during this open studio event.
 

How does the Chicago Craft Crawl work? Artists have self-selectively joined the Chicago Center of Craft and have agreed to be placed on a map where visitors can stop by and learn about their craft techniques, wares, and creative processes. The locations on the map may be artists’ studios or pop-up spaces featuring local gems such as a coffee shop, bakery, or other independently owned local business. This is a great way to discover Chicago, break through the winter doldrums, and support local artists and businesses. It is also a great way to discover a new hobby, as many of the artists on the list teach classes either in their studio or at venues across the city.
 

We are also organizing raffle prizes for visitors who follow us on Instagram and share a photo of a visit with an artist, tagging the artist and us on social media. Let's show the love for our creative community!
 

A live map will be populated as artists sign up to participate. If you are an artist interested in participating, all you have to do is become a member for only $25! Don't miss your chance to participate at this low fee as next year, we will be increasing the fee.
