DreamHome- April 13- December 2011
Every year the Merchandise Mart gives a handful of designers the creative freedom to design a specific room in what they call a "Dream Home". The preview party is a hosted event by the Mart where they raise money for the University of Chicago Cancer Research Foundation and gives the attendees the chance to be the first to enjoy the spaces and chat with the designers over cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.
Artropolis- April 29 - May 2, 2011
Four days of great arty fun. My second favorite event at the Merchandise Mart for sure. Tons of amazing and creative artworks from all over the world. Between the music, the drinks, the people and the art there is not only a lot of fun to be had but there is a lot to learn about new and evolving art styles.
NeoCon- June 13-15
Probably one off my favorite design events of the year by far. NewCon showcases the new and top of the line commercial products and styles from all over the world. The Merchandise Mart hosts top commercial companies and has an array of great prizes and free swag gifts. It's only for two days so you have to take advantage of it while you can.
