Over 15 years the Ravenswood ArtWalk annual “Tour of Arts and Industry” has evolved into a truly unique experience for the thousands of visitors that attend each year. Part arts market, open house, gallery hop and outdoor festival, RAW serves as a showcase for one of Chicago’s most diverse and vibrant communities of makers. Taking place along the historic Ravenswood Industrial Corridor, the festival provides exposure for local artists and businesses while also supporting neighborhood arts programs and initiatives.
Last year, over 8,000 visitors enjoyed the ArtWalk, experiencing a weekend of art, music, food and community. The festival featured over 300 artists displaying their work across nearly 50 venues. Visitors toured open galleries and studios, private industrial spaces and collections, and a street festival featuring two stages of live music, 50 artists, an urban craft beer garden, children’s corner and food truck roundup.
