The Shop Evanston Made Holiday Market at 921 Church St. in Downtown Evanston, provided more than 150 of our members, plus numerous community partners, the chance to take their goods to market and showcase their talents.

One of the most unique holiday shopping experiences around, Downtown Evanston worked with GW Properties to gift Evanston Made  13,000 sq ft of vacant space after Urban Outfitters moved out.

Our team went about mobilizing our members to add their work to our new Shop Evanston Made online store. From there we filled the space with ceramics, jewelry, wood boards, scarfs and more! We curated art for large panels, offering our members a rare opportunity to display vary large works. Throughout the space, installation artists were invited to create displays of massive scale to include forests, street art, film and sculptures.

Participation in the holiday market was given to our members, free of charge. Access to programming designed to connect artists and artisans with a community of collectors and fans, is just one of many benefits to being an Evanston Made Member. Click here to join now!
