Evanston, IL — Evanston Made is hosting its 5th Annual Holiday Market, a pop-up market at 1710 Maple Avenue in Downtown Evanston. The pop-up operates Thursdays through Sundays December 4-21, 2025, and will feature a vibrant, art-filled experience for arts enthusiasts and patrons during the holiday season.

This year, the market will not only feature art exhibits and pop-up sales of handmade goods by Evanston Made members, but also workshops, “Meet the Makers” events, mixers and art demos. The full programming calendar is available at evanstonmade.org

“Evanston Made loves transforming spaces to create opportunities for local artists to connect with new audiences. Buying art your neighbor makes helps build community.  We are grateful to Downtown Evanston and Continuum for the support and enthusiasm,” says Liz Cramer, Co-Director of Evanston Made. 

The space for this year’s Evanston Made pop-up has been donated by Continuum Capital.  “We are thrilled to collaborate with Evanston Made to bring this year’s Holiday Market Event to Downtown Evanston. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to celebrating artists, creativity and local businesses. We’re proud to support initiatives that bring people together and strengthen the cultural and economic vitality of the community.” Evan Meador, co-founder and managing member of Continuum Development.

Andy Vick, Executive Director of Downtown Evanston adds, “We’re so excited to welcome Evanston Made’s annual Holiday Market back to Downtown Evanston,” said Andy Vick, the executive director of the downtown business district. “It’s a great addition to our holiday retail mix, and I wish the participating artists lots of success.
