More Chicago Happenings

What is a "Trunk Show"?

A trunk show is a special event in which an artist or designer puts on a special display of his or her work for review by a select group. The name comes from the fact that a designer will literally show up with a trunk of merchandise to show off.  It is quite common for attendees to have the opportunity to purchase or order items during the event.  

Trunk Show is taken very literally by Chicago artists!
During our recent visit to Chicago we attended a Trunk Show
a block away from our son & daughter-in-law's apartment.
Our grandson rode a borrowed bicycle to the show.
The participating artist designs bumper stickers.
 The "trunk" of the car oozed smoke!
 
Refreshments were served from the hood of the car for the enjoyment of the attendees.

Some attendees (our grandson) provided their own entertainment!

Neighborhood park fun!
 Impromptu t-ball!!
I love visits with our grandchildren!!
