“The Chicago Artisan Market® features Midwest’s best in food, fashion, home goods and art.

Our vendors are small businesses run by people who carry on the City’s rich history as a “city that works.”  The sheer ingenuity and passion that goes into making their products is a cause for celebration, so we created a market to do just that!

If there’s one thing we’ve learned in our 18+ years of supporting small business in Chicago via digital media, retail pop-ups and signature events, it’s this….

You can’t really franchise “shop local” nationally – it’s sort of beside the point. Folks catch on after a while.

We operate the Chicago Artisan Market at both Morgan MFG (401 N. Morgan St., Chicago) in Fulton Market / West Loop and the Artifact Events Bldg. (4325 N. Ravenswood Ave., Chicago) in the historic Ravenswood neighborhood. We also operate the Oak Brook Artisan Market in picturesque Oak Brook, IL and the Naperville Artisan Market  in Naperville, IL.

We are dedicated to our mission of supporting independently owned, local businesses.

There are strong economic reasons why communities should support local artisans and independent, small businesses.

• They hire local.
• They pay taxes locally that fund our schools, parks, trains, hospitals, public safety and infrastructure.
• They grow faster than big companies.
• They enrich our culture.
• They are the soul of our neighborhoods.

Nearly two-thirds of the small businesses we work with are either women-owned or minority-owned.

Join us for the Chicago Artisan Market®, and celebrate the fact that nearly every successful business starts small.”
