CHICAGO -- The city's artisan pop-up markets are beginning to make a return, just in time for spring. A pop-up was held Wednesday at a West Town candle shop turned art gallery - Black Luxe Candles. They hosted an artists showcase in celebration of Women's History Month that was open to the community.Black Luxe Candles, located at 1252 N. Milwaukee Ave., always has art on the walls - something nice to look at while students immerse themselves in their candle-making classes.
'What we do when it comes to the artwork in the space is we put it together in a way that tells a story of some sort,' Dease said. This time around, that story centers on the voices, perspectives, and works of female artists - from artists whose careers have spanned decades to those still in elementary school.'Her dad came and dropped off the artwork yesterday. He was so nervous,' Taylor said.
