We love working with Lillstreet. When people ask us what they do we get to say everything. The art space is a gallery and a place to take classes. It’s for the young and old. You can do your holiday shopping there. Lillstreet is celebrating its 35th Anniversary this weekend with a casual event for the whole family. There will be classes for kids, live music, live DJs, local food vendors and a chance to win raffle prizes. For only a $35 donation that benefits ArtReach, you can spend a Friday night interacting with some of the most creative people Chicago has to offer.

The direction staff has been traversing all parts of the city and most nearby suburbs distributing Lillstreet class catalogs. We’ve worked with Lillstreet to build out a comprehensive route that leaves no artistic rock unturned.

The 35th Anniversary Party to Benefit Artreach is this Saturday, April 30. Lillstreet adult and kids classes begin May 2. The gallery is open seven days a week. Please visit lillstreet.com for information on the benefit, classes, artist in residence and more.

I’m sure I’m starting to sound like a broken record but Lillstreet Arts Center is such a great place to take a call and try your hand at ceramics, painting, printmaking or metalsmithing.  Classes aren’t only fun but an inspiration to releasing some of that creative energy. Take a class over the holidays or give a class as a gift to friends and loved ones.

The winter season not only ushers in a new semester at Lillstreet, but their 34th Annual Holiday Show as well.  Between November 16th and December 31st, stop by Lillstreet to view and purchase the wares of Lillstreet alums.  These unique items make great holiday gifts and proceeds support independent artists!

Lillstreet Arts Center is located at 4401 N. Ravenswood and the 34th Annual Holiday show is open through December 31st. An Open House featuring free workshops for adults and kids’ activities is on December 5th from 12PM through 5PM.
