The , presented by Saatchi Art, returns to Artifact Events in Ravenswood, Chicago, from October 30 to November 2—and this edition is bursting with creative surprises. More than 115 independent artists will fill the venue with fresh artwork, playful installations, and interactive experiences that make art accessible, fun, and unforgettable. Whether you’re discovering the fair for the first time or coming back for more, this fall is your chance to immerse yourself in Chicago’s most vibrant art event.
Opening Night Celebration
Kick things off with a night of art, music, and performance. Presented with WBEZ and Vocalo, the celebration features a DJ set from Rocio Santos and a live performance by Odette Stout. Her project, Cute Accelerations, turns the fair into a living installation as drag performers move through the space in dazzling wearable sculptures.
Friday Late: Halloween Edition
Chicago’s favorite Friday night art party gets a spooky glow-up. Dive into The Insect Asylum’s Bug Taxidermy Workshops, strike a moody pose for a Tintype Portrait with Max Li (and show up in costume for your chance to win one for free), and explore the fair by night with art, music, and Halloween energy. Plus, don’t miss the Friday Late Event Bundle ticket, which includes admission, a drink token, and a limited-edition tote bag designed by Griffin Goodman.
Blind Date with an Artwork
For the bold at heart—buy an artwork under $200, sight unseen. The thrill of discovery is all part of the fun, and you just might unwrap your next favorite piece.
Artist-Designed Mini Golf
Mini golf, but make it art. This year, five Chicago artists have each created a fully playable hole that’s part sculpture, part installation, and entirely unexpected. Step onto the green, putt your way through imaginative designs, and see who comes out on top. Perfect for groups, this is your chance to take playful competition into the world of art.
Weekend Highlights
Throughout the weekend, discover book signings, workshops, free collage button-making, and creative opportunities that raise funds for important charitable causes. Every experience is another way to connect, create, and give back through art.
Don’t miss your chance to collect, play, and celebrate at The Other Art Fair Chicago.
