Built by artists. Rooted in Avondale.
Avondale Arts Chicago is an artist-led nonprofit supporting the neighborhood’s creative community through public art, events, workshops, and paid opportunities.
What we do
Public Art
Murals, installations, and creative activations that reflect Avondale’s history and voices.
Events & Workshops
Markets, skill-shares, and gatherings that bring artists, neighbors, and businesses together.
Paid Opportunities
We connect artists to real, paid work—locally and transparently.
Why it Matters
We believe creativity belongs in the neighborhood it comes from.
We keep art local, accessible, and fairly compensated—without gatekeeping or fluff.
Events & Calendar
Our events are where Avondale’s creative community shows up.
We host pop-ups, markets, workshops, and public art moments that connect artists, neighbors, and small businesses—right here in the neighborhood. Everything we do is local, artist-led, and built to support creativity without barriers.
New events are added regularly, so check back or join our mailing list to stay in the loop.
