Artifact Events

Discover one-of-a-kind treasures from over 100 local small businesses at this curated indoor marketplace. You’ll be able to check out the best in Chicago food, fashion, home goods and art, as well as chat with vendors to learn about how the products are made. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join the fun, and tickets are discounted when purchased in advance.

Step into the ultimate feline wonderland at POP Cats, a two-day convention fueled by cats, art and entertainment. You’ll find plenty of adoptable cats, photo ops, cat-art exhibits, cosplay, a marketplace and much more. A portion of the proceeds will go toward benefitting participating cat organizations.

More than 115 emerging artists will be selling their work at Saatchi Art's touring art fair, which takes place this year at Artifact Events. Prices for art start at around $100, making this the perfect opportunity for burgeoning collectors to start their very own gallery wall without spending an arm and a leg.
