Maker's Market
The 2nd Annual Maker's Market was a huge success! 75 vendors transformed the 5th floor of Evanston's Maple Street Garage into an art fair! 500 customers visited at staggered times to create a calm socially distanced experience throughout the day.
We are so grateful to all the artisans and customers for braving the cold and supporting the arts in Evanston with enthusiasm and joy!
Winter Wonderland at Canal Shores!
Join us for a monthlong celebration of winter at the Canal Shores Golf Course. Make nature art for the community to enjoy, stop by for a fire pit visit or just stroll the open land. Click for more information.
Member's Portfolio Page
Every member artist gets a free portfolio page on the website. They can load up to 15 images. They can load their resume, bio, artist statement and any contact links they would want the public to have.
First Saturdays Evanston Listings
We are proud to have created The First Saturday Evanston initiative. Every month art galleries, organizations and individual artists know to plan their events for the first Saturday of the month to be part of our calendar and robust promotional effort.
Check our calendar for updates and keep up with our Instagram and Facebook pages.
The Interview Project
Lisa D interviews every artist participating in the June 2020 Group Show and Pop Up (thats 95 artists!). Once you know the artist's story you'll love their art even more.
Equity & Inclusion
We believe that Evanston Made should meet and exceed The 15 Percent Pledge to have 15% of our members be Black, Brown, Indigenous People of Color. We have work to do.
