Good Things about this Art Fair:
well organized and busy! Good food on the street.
All recycled items, super great!

Bad Things about this Art Fair:
Parking, as in all of Chicago, was a pain, but this neighborhood has some that is not "permit only" so it was OK. We had to wait until the bitter end to pull cars in to pack up. Most of us sat with our completely packed up stuff for an hour or 2 before we could pull cars in.

Advice to Other Artists Considering this Show:
It's a gritty, eclectic Chicago neighborhood. I loved it, but it may not be for everyone.

Good Things about this Art Fair:
Its a street fair that is dedicated to re-purposed art. It has a kids section and live music as well .The close down a section Milwaukee avenue for the event. Show personnel is very good to work with.

Bad Things about this Art Fair:
There was supposed to be parking but it changed as the show opened and cars had to be moved. There is no show parking. You can load at your booth but he show ends at 10pm the second day which means you wait until 10pm or carry it all out which I have done now for 2 years.

Advice to Other Artists Considering this Show:
Smalls sell better since people are waling or taking public trans to the event.
