LOCATION: OCATED AT HELIUM GALERY
4710 N. RAVENSWOOD AVE.
CHICAGO, IL

WHEN: Saturday Dec. 15th & Sunday Dec. 16th 2012

TIME: 11 AM – 5 PM

THE CHICAGO ART GIRLS HOLIDAY POP UP SHOP is just before the holidays, where shoppers can find OVER 35 artists who create one-of-a-kind, handmade, high-quality yet affordable holiday gift items for all ages and genders, including jewelry of all types, clothing and t-shirts for adults and kids, bags and purses, stationery and paper products, housewares, ceramics, glassware and enamelware, fiber work and felted knitwear, photography, soaps, paintings, eco-friendly wood accessories, reclaimed wood furniture and body care products. The CHICAGO ART GIRLS began as a group of independent women artists who met while exhibiting at various art fairs in the Chicago area and established an informal support group where we could ask questions freely about upcoming shows and share information about the art business. Emboldened by this positive local camaraderie, we decided to pull all of our strengths together to put on a TWO DAY show to showcase our talents and support LOCAL HANDMADE ART & CRAFT.

EDGEWATER–It just got easier to buy locally for the holidays. That’s
because the Vintage Garage Chicago Holiday Trunk Show and the DIY
Trunk Show have coordinated efforts making a one-trip shop stop in
Edgewater possible.

The popular Vintage Garage will move indoors for the Vintage Garage
Holiday Trunk Show November 17-18. Located just a few blocks from the
summer market location, the two-day Vintage Garage Holiday Trunk Show
will provide enough clothing, jewelry, furniture, advertising
memorabilia, games, appliances, glassware and electronics to get you
through the winter.

Also on November 17 and about one block from the Vintage Garage
Holiday Trunk Show, the DIY Trunk Show produced by Chicago Craft Mafia
will showcase diverse talent offering handmade arts, crafts, goods,
and endeavors of all kinds.

“Here are two great opportunities in close proximity that make it easy
to go the extra mile to provide unique holiday gifts,” says Melissa
Sands of Vintage Promotions, LLC, producer of the Vintage Garage
Holiday Trunk Show. “Plus you’ll know your purchases are helping local
people and the local economy.”

Promoters also point out that shopping local, repurposing, buying
locally made goods and buying re-marketed goods are all green
activities.
