That's a wrap, 2025! Looking forward:

As we wrap up our final Streetz Artz Alliance event of 2025, we want to pause and say thank you.

This year we proudly produced over 65 curated events with four dedicated curators — myself, Paula, Alissa, and Teagan — and none of it would be possible without the incredible support of our patrons, artists, and venues.

This past Sunday at Flipside Brewing was the perfect way to close out the year, and it meant so much to see so many familiar alliance artists and supportive patrons come out to celebrate together.

Throughout 2025, we had the honor of working with amazing breweries across the Chicagoland suburbs and showcasing over 300 different artists and makers. We’re especially grateful to welcome the many new artists who joined us recently, whether through their first events or by applying to upcoming shows.

Behind the scenes, a lot of care goes into advertising, logistics, and professionalism — all while balancing full-time day jobs — and we deeply appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued trust as we strive to make each event better than the last.

Looking ahead, we have great things in the works for 2026, and we hope you’ll continue this journey with us. Please keep inviting friends, sharing posts, attending events, and supporting local artists whenever you’re able. Your feedback truly matters, so don’t hesitate to let us know how we can improve and better serve this community.

Thank you for being part of the Streetz Artz Alliance — we can’t wait to see what we build together next year.
