AnySquared Projects is an artists’ collaborative that organizes events and exhibitions. Last summer, AnySquared coordinated the 2010 Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival’s South End Galleries & Community Mural on Medill and also organized the LIP (Life in Progress), an October art series, which was one of 12 selected featured programs highlighted out of hundreds during Chicago Artists Month 2010. Count on them not to forget about the holidays.
On Saturday, Dec. 4 from 2 to 9 p.m., get some extra warmth at the Winter Celebration on Milwaukee Avenue. The nexus of fun will be the Logan Square Holiday Art Sale at Cole’s Bar, 2338 N. Milwaukee Ave.
Holiday art from local fine artists will include an assortment of original art and handmade items from paintings, prints, drawings, photography, letterpress, cards, buttons, collages, recycled crafts, silk-screened bags, non-denominational holiday balls, dioramas, jewelry to Mexican wrestling masks. We are all pinching pennies this year, and many items are under $50.
From there, it’s only a short walk along Milwaukee Avenue to be part of the Winter Celebration. Businesses that are participating include the Sulzen Fine Arts Studio, Revolution Brewery and Hairitics, Chicken Run and other local restaurants. Anti-Matter Studio, Threads Etc. and Cafe Mustache will be all gussied up for the event. The LIMIT Community Mural can bring back summer memories if it isn’t too cold.
