Festival Description & Information

Amdur Productions is proud to announce the return of the 8th Annual Printer’s Row Art Fest in Chicago! Be part of a cool vibe art festival in Chicago’s up and coming South Loop, a vibrant, diverse and inclusive community. The South Loop is a mosaic of people, neighborhoods and cultures. Taking place alongside the famous Printer’s Row Park, this festival will be the place to be. The festival showcases the beauty, creativity and culture of the area. Trendy loft apartments and photo studios, upscale apartments and townhomes, on-trend restaurants and bars all make this area the urban destination of millennials, gen-exer’s and baby boomers.

Held on Dearborn Street, from Harrison Street to Polk Street, the South Loop Art Fest will be a showing and selling opportunity for artists and artisans. Art at all price points is invited at this fall fest. Painters, street artists, jewelers, “up-cycling artists”, artisans of all kinds, photographers, mixed media artists and more are invited to apply.
