First Saturdays Evanston Art Events are a citywide arts initiative, inviting everyone to explore and experience Evanston's thriving art scene. This event is self guided, supported by a Google map here and list of events published on evanstonmade.org the week before the event.

Hosted on the First Saturday of each month, Evanston Made, a nonprofit arts organization based in Evanston, IL, collaborates with artists, arts organizations and business owners to showcase Evanston’s Creative Community.

Artist-run, this monthly event is entering its 7th year, and includes Artist Studio Tours, Pop Up Exhibits, Artists Talks, Art on Exhibit and more. One highlight is the partnership between Evanston businesses and the artists, where businesses display art in windows and walls. 

Everyone is invited to host an Art Event on the First Saturday of the month in Evanston and Evanston Made will promote! Click here to fill out the host form.
