First Saturday Evanston Art Events

Evanston's visual arts community has been thriving and growing in 2019 with the help of promotions and programming from organizations like Evanston Made.

Evanston Made, a community arts initiative transforming into a non-profit organization in 2020, is focused on connecting Evanston creatives with the public through events and programming. Open to membership on many levels, artists and patrons are invited to join at evanstonmade.org.

In 2019, Evanston Made volunteers worked with a core group of artists and art spaces to host monthly art openings where the public could make, view, engage and connect with the Evanston Arts Community. Monthly events are listed at evanstonmade.org the First Saturday of every month, 12-9p, and encourage the public to make Evanston and Arts Destination with events for all ages.

For information on how to get in involved as an artist or patron, email info@evanstonmade.org. Below is the list of participating artists and galleries for First Saturday Evanston Art Events January!
