Pop-Up Art Market

We wrote about the pop-up art market from Bay Area arts and culture blog Big Things at Wicker Park's Public Works gallery. Today's the day for that, from 5-9 p.m. Big Big City Chicago will feature the photography of local photographer Debbie Carlos; local art and design collective The Post Factory; Boyfrien Girlfrien (an online resale shop and handbag maker); photographer Jeremy Edwards; Chuyu Wear (a jewelry line from SAIC alum Hana Kulovic); designer vintage clothing boutique La Chanteuse; Ashley Alexander's line of stationery, totes and accessories I'm Smitten; and makers of hand printed greeting cards Nourishing Notes. (1539 N. Damen Ave., 2nd Floor)
