Item Description

Buddy is a store in the Chicago Cultural Center with the mission of supporting and showcasing local artists, makers, and small businesses. Its nearly 2,500 square foot retail space features 300+ artists at any moment including prints, photos, art objects, functional art, textile, publications, music, jewelry, care products, toys and much more. 

Buddy very generously donated some incredible things to this year's auction:

  • A $350 gift card to be used at Buddy

  • A copy of The Lumpen Times: 30+ Years of Radical Media and Building Communities of the Future, which shares stories from a few dozen of the thousands of collaborators of these endeavors. It contains a visual survey of the printed matter produced over the past 3 decades which shows the evolution of the xeroxed and stapled zine into an internationally awarded cultural periodical.

  • A copy of The MdW Atlas - a project that, like art and like the Midwest, illuminates contradiction, concurrent truths, and above all, who we are, luminously and together. In the summer of 2022, twenty editors from seven Midwestern states invited 68 Midwestern artists to write (or draw, or cook, or map) what it’s like to make their work where they are, right now.

  • A Buddy Tote Bag

This is truly an amazing package and you won't want to miss out!
