We have produced over 200 successful pop-up shopping events, fashion shows, and girls night out events.

What are some common elements in all our events & markets?

• We offer affordable exhibit space and selling opportunities for independently owned small businesses.
• Over 70% of our exhibitors are women-owned and/or minority owned.
• Our guests / shoppers have a reputation for being the nicest, most positive people who are generously supportive of small businesses & shopping local!

We are beyond excited to bring you the Chicago Artisan Market®. 

Our mission is to create and sustain a community marketplace which supports local artisans and small businesses. We value working with people and businesses that run on passion, hard work and dedication. Our events are successful because we work with great people.

We launched INV Marketing Group in 2004 with the goal of helping people find the best local businesses and events. Along the way, we’ve created events that we would want to attend ourselves.

We’d love to get to know you!
