Norris University Center - Louis Room, Floor 2
Join us for the annual Arts and Crafts fair at Norris University Center. Each year, the Arts and Crafts fair draws hundreds of campus and Evanston community members to support Northwestern community artists. Unique art pieces will be available for purchase at a variety of price points, allowing for the perfect decoration or gift. Featured artists include ceramics, jewelry, paintings, photography, fine art prints, crochet, stained glass, sculptures, and more. View some of our previous Art Vendors here.
Along with our artists, we will also have themed crafts for our guests to make. This is the perfect opportunity for our students to de-stress and make art of their own!
