Show held in Outdoor Courtyard of Univ. of Chicago's Hyde Park Shopping Center. The Courtyard provides a wonderful setting for the show with benches, trees, flowers, tables and even a fountain. A popular destination to socialize and attend events as well as to shop and it provides a great ambiance for the show. Among other stores/shops, there is a French Bakery and French Restaurant located in the outdoor courtyard. Walgreen's and Treasure Island also in the center. (Treasure Island is where University of Chicago/Hyde Park customers shop plus many who come from far and near.) We have found customers very enthusiastic about the show as well as very knowledgeable. Show requested by members who exhibited here in the past & found customers to be very supportive of work created by the exhibitor.

After the downtown Museum Camps Hyde Park has the largest concentration of cultural institutions in the City with a great cultural diversity as it is heavily patronized by professors, personnel & others from the University of Chicago plus Hyde Park Residents & many more who come from far beyond. Courtyard has security gates which close at midnight and open early in the morning (subject to change). Your display may be left overnight at your own risk. Unloading/loading is convenient & there is a large lot on the premises for free parking. Both center & customers support a quality show. Show widely publicized as well as advertised.
If you wish to jury to participate in the show, please submit 4 images representative of your work you wish to exhibit, one of your display set-up, your first/last name, physical address, daytime telephone number - resume/show listing helpful.
