Last year we were in Art Chicago's NEXT art fair as Allen Vandever's project space, we were also in Art on Track and Verge Basel Miami along with other shows. These were great opportunity's to reveal our work to the world, We will be doing much the same This year starting with Art Chicago's NEXT art fair and Allen Vandevers 2nd Annual Art Extravaganza April 29th at Cafe Baci 225 W Walker Chicago. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br />

This weekly event started when a few of us gathered to attend some openings to drink free booze while nibbling on semi-expensive cheese and crackers. That humble beginning inspired great conversation, unforgettable intrigue, and of course, camaraderie. We invite you to be a part of this merriment and exploration. For information of gathering time and location, please shoot me an e-mail at allenartist@gmail.com.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br />

Log in weekly to get updates on our upcoming events, activities, and find out how you can get involved. <br />
<br />
Team Art Project Space is composed of professional artists working together to create truly outstanding installations, projects, and educational opportunities for young and emerging artists in Chicago. Based out of the north side, we are all artists working in slightly different veins, with our own individualized tastes and interests. We are all united by our absolute passion and love for 2-d work-- from paint on canvas to mural painting, to photography. Team Art! encourages young and emerging artists to work bigger, and better, and ultimately to get their work seen.<br />
<br />
Working artists need project spaces, gallery spaces, inspiration, publicity, audiences, funding, and above all encouragement. As a collective of professional artists, Team Art! is invested in art education, promotion, and above all evolution as art changes along with our ever evolving city.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk7ybnanaSCDXzPHydwhhq6c3Lfqz-vf8vlNZPp9pyZgo4qzk1rxI_3abQvCDugxOMpPA4dtecKFboCuRGBKETDkhMqeGILQoNtLU7JydBA8VQv8EXMu3mEb7jTvpFdqExXB5c6QTBtRS6/s1600/cta+day+dream.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk7ybnanaSCDXzPHydwhhq6c3Lfqz-vf8vlNZPp9pyZgo4qzk1rxI_3abQvCDugxOMpPA4dtecKFboCuRGBKETDkhMqeGILQoNtLU7JydBA8VQv8EXMu3mEb7jTvpFdqExXB5c6QTBtRS6/s320/cta+day+dream.jpg" width="288" /></a></div><div style="color: cyan;"><br />
