EVANSTON, February 7, 2012 – Thirty Chicago area and out-of-state artists, many of them established and award winning, are selling one-a-kind fine art at the unique “Pop Up Art Show” created by well known their one-of Chicago area art gallerist Joy Horwich and her daughters in a 1,200 square-foot Chicago Avenue Evanston storefront.

“We will be showing a diverse mix of painters, photographers, sculptors, ceramists, and jewelers,” said Horwich. “All their work is colorful, delightful, and finely executed. Everything is for sale. This is a nice way to herald these fine artists.”
This is the third such “Pop Up Art Show” created and run by Horwich, Bernstein, and Keeshin; the first was a one-week event in Highland Park, the second was held one weekend last October at Steinhafels new, 101,000 square foot, state-of-the-art furniture store in Vernon Hills.
Followers of Horwich, who for 25 years operated the Joy Horwich Gallery on Ontario Street in Chicago, are expected to view the elaborate display of art work and jewelry. The art consultant also is highly regarded for her guided "Joy-us-Jaunts" tours, including day trips and excursions to art events in Chicago, its suburbs, and other cities in the U.S. and around the world.
The “Pop Up Art Show” is a trend which started in London that involves showcasing the work of select artists at a variety of unique venues for a limited amount of time.
