SMALL SPACE, BIG IDEAS ⋆

GLASS CASE GALLERY

Glass Case Gallery is a mini gallery space located at The WasteShed’s registers in our glass display cases. The gallery highlights local artists working with up cycled materials and inspires our visitors to imagine new ways of using unconventional and reused materials!

Glass Case Gallery Artists’ work serve as points of entry into larger discussions about the things we own, and the way we live.

Now accepting applications!

Gallery Details

We accept ongoing submissions for our Glass Case Gallery in both Chicago and Evanston.

The Glass Case Gallery will present an artist’s work for a three month period. 

Work must be made of at least 50% upcycled material, and must be able to fit into our display case (Chicago’s case requires a 15”x15” clearance, Evanston’s case can accommodate pieces that are 20”x17” or 20”x12.5”)

We are specifically looking for submissions that uplift the idea of creative reuse and will inspire others to reuse materials they have in new ways. Things that typically sell well in our galleries are crafted home goods (think lamps, journals, etc!), accessories, and decor!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

Artist Benefits

Artists selected to be featured for the Glass Case Gallery receive 75% of all work sold, and the option of a closing or opening reception in our workspace.

Artists are also offered the opportunity to lead a workshop at the associated WasteShed location.
