Evanston Made opens a new 6-month pop-up store

Evanston Made opens a new 6-month pop-up store

 


Evanston Made has a new 6-month pop-up art series on the Main-Dempster Mile starting in September. The shop will feature a new medium every month until February, such as paintings and photographs, to give various local artists a chance to showcase and sell their work.

The Dempster St. pop-up is a sprawling gallery space filled with artwork of all sizes, mediums and color combinations. It is decorated with mid-century modern furniture from antique dealer Skokie Swantiques so people can imagine the art in their homes, said Evanston Made founder and executive director Lisa Degliantoni.

“We don’t have a physical location for Evanston Made. We still appear in places,” Degliantoni said. “Our long-term goal is to have a physical building where we can do…retail, a studio, and exhibits.”

Every piece in the shop is meticulously placed, which Degliantoni hopes will show shoppers that all art, big and small, expensive and affordable, can fit together well. There are even paintings in the bathroom and easels to show shoppers that there is no conventional place for art.

The pop-up will feature paintings in September, photography in October, a holiday market in November and December, fiber and 3D art in January, and printmaking in February.

Nina Weiss has been an artist at Evanston Made for three years and has studied and produced art since she was 11 years old. Weiss grew up in New York and said she became a nature cyclist when she moved to Chicago, which inspired her genre of landscape paintings. .

“It’s nice to be able to paint what makes me happy and other people too,” Weiss said.

Weiss said showcasing his work in the pop-up brought people to his personal studio. According to her, Evanston Made only takes 30% of artists’ profits, compared to typical rates for other galleries — which Weiss says is 50%.

Multimedia artist Lisa Haskin said she has always been involved in artistic projects, from collages to graphic design to oil paintings.

“(Mixed media) was a way of expressing myself in a different way that was very loose, unstructured and the art genre comes to life and evolves,” Haskin said.

Haskin said Evanston Made gave her incredible exposure, especially as an introvert who would rather stay home and paint than advertise her work.

Evanston Made used to host annual group shows for artists, but with a growing membership – which is currently around 450 – the organization has moved to rotating media to allow all members an opportunity for fair exposure, Degliantoni said.

Over 20 pieces have sold since the pop-up shop opened on September 3. bringing in nearly $6,000 in art sales, Degliantoni said. Prices vary so that the art is affordable for the average buyer, with the most expensive being $2,400 and the cheapest $40, she added.

“It’s really hard to get gallery representation (and) very expensive to get into exhibitions,” Degliantoni said. “What we’re trying to do with Evanston Made is to break down all of those barriers…we just want artists to be able to participate in what they do and love, and the expression they want to share with the community.”
