Hello Art Lover's! Looking for a fun and meaningful way to spend time with friends and family this holiday season? How about a trip to the Chicago Arts District?

This 2nd Friday offers the chance to get up close and personal with an exciting group of makers along South Halsted street in Pilsen East. DesignProject debuts, "Not Boring Art", Xavier Nuez brings you Light Paintings, and the Chicago Art Department features the "Make / Sale". Be sure to visit the charming, Victorian home and studio of Anne Farley Gaines and Geoff Novelli, special guests this holiday season. There's so much more to see during your visit, so keep reading for sneak peeks into the studios! 

After you've checked out the studios, be sure to show some support to our other local creatives. Pilsen East is home to several artisan haunts for food and drink, the Tasting Room at Moody Tongue Brewing, Pleasant House Pub, and Del Toro are all within a block or two of the studios and galleries you'll be visiting. Culture, great food & drink, and holiday fun with your besties? Don't miss out!
