While naturally all Noyes wants for Christmas is you, the rest of the world cannot be so lucky. Thankfully, Evanston’s Open Studio Project will be having a Holiday Show this weekend to provide a variety of unique gifts for all.
A non-profit arts and social service organization, Open Studio Project provides stimulating and powerful programming combining visual arts and writing, with a special emphasis on using the creative arts to inspire personal growth, interpersonal understanding, and social change.
This Saturday December 6th from 10am-5pm, Open Studio Project will be having a celebration of the creative spirit! Their holiday show includes handmade gifts, crafts, artwork, objects, food & drink, music & art making for all. Located at 903 Sherman Ave, this event is sure to be a one stop shop for Christmas gifts and Holiday fun!

Thanks so much for the post about the show!
I was just there today watching and helping with set-up and there's so much great unique work up. We'll have some pictures of what's up for sale on our Facebook group if people are interested.
It's such aa busy weekend craft-wise! If I didn't have Open Studio Project going on, I'd be all over Chicagoland.
Thanks again! Look forward to following your blog!
