Crafters Congregate for Holiday Market in Streeterville

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Ready to get a jump start on your holiday shopping? Head to the Family Atrium at 303 E Superior November 10-11 for the fourth annual Artisan Market Streeterville.

With over 20 fresh faces making their debuts at Artisan Market, Chicago area artists will be on display, including fiber artist Rea Koutsogiorgas (scarves and shawls), photographer Steve Somen (haunting, noir-like photos of Chicago alleys and hidden street scenes), Beth Cummings (children's clothing and designs for the modern nerd), Veronica Martens (jewelry made from South American tagua nuts), Barbara Goldberg (lace pillows) and Anne Sargeant (letter art glass creations).

From painting and photography to jewelry and clothing (and yes, this includes doggie sweaters, bow ties and aprons), you can pick up one-of-a-kind gifts without breaking the bank. Prices rang from $5 to $1,000, with most selections between $50-$200.
Don't know what you want to buy that special someone? Eat while you ponder. A dozen food vendors (Fox & Obel, Veruca Chocolate, The Goddess and Grocer, Metropolis Coffee, etc.) will supply scrumptious eats while you shop. The best part? Admission is free.
