Tasteful Art on the Avenues

Street festival on Armitage?

Yes, please.

Music, food, charity, and local artists? Even better.

Wristbands (the proceeds of which are donated to Children's Memorial Hospital) for Tasteful Art on the Avenues will be available at select stores on Armitage, Halsted, and Webster between today and June 18th, for a discounted price of $7! After June 18th, they will be $10 - so be sure to get yours early.

So what's this magic wristband going to buy me, you wonder?

All participating Armitage stores will stay open late for the event, offering delicious appetizers and cocktails while you shop around. Each participating store will feature a local artist with their latest digs on display. And if you see something that suits your fancy...most art is for sale! Plus, each time you make a purchase at any of the stores, you are entered to win a raffle basket full of goodies from the neighborhood shopping district!

This tasty treat is going down next Friday, June 19th, from 6:00-9:00 pm on Armitage Avenue between Halsted and Sheffield. What's better than shopping for a good cause?

Don't forget to stop by and see us at Thread Lounge, where we'll be featuring one-of-a-kind canvas pieces by Lakeview's own Victor VanBramer, concoctions by VeeV Acai Spirits, and sammies from the Spicy Pickle. We can't wait to see you!
