  1. I’m a local artist from Chicago looking to share my art at an events that offers a vendor, the option of purchasing a tables. My art is an unapologetic celebration of life, culture and vision through self-expression that impacts people lives in various ways, some are moved, some respond and other just react. I look forward to connecting with an organization that offers this opportunity.
