Upcoming Events

Inaugural Chicago Craft Crawl!

Sat. March 21, 2026, from 10 AM to 6 PM
Sun. March 22, 2026, from 11 AM to 5 PM

Come out and discover artists working in Chicago and the vicinity. 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? Check out our interactive map and online directory to locate studios, workshops, and galleries near you. Learn about craft techniques and the creative processes of local artists. 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 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 a raffle for visitors who follow us on Instagram and share a photo of their visit with an artist, tagging the artist and us on social media. Let's show some love for our creative community!
 

The live map is populated weekly 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 our membership rates will be increasing.
