Chicago art, fashion and music come together for a celebration this weekend at the Chicago Renaissance Showcase.
The big picture: Shop local artists and designers during the day as you vibe to house music and watch a live graffiti art showcase. The evening transforms into a cocktail reception, fashion show and discussion about the city's cultural connections and history.
What they're saying: "We're experiencing a true renaissance, with emerging designers and innovative collaborations reshaping our cultural landscape, and our intent for Chicago Renaissance Showcase is to recognize how these creative sectors naturally converge," co-founder Marquan Jones said in a press release.
The vibe: Expect to be in a room full of diverse creatives with food trucks and dance lessons.
If you go: The event takes over a warehouse at 1801 W. Carroll Ave. on the near West Side.
Cost: Tickets are $15.
What's next: The Museum of House, Chicago's first permanent institution dedicated to Chicago as the birthplace of house music dance culture, opens in Wicker Park next month.
