About MixedMediums
Mixed Mediums was founded on the principle that it's never just about "an event." It's about what happens in the in-between — the spark of connection, the conversations that stretch longer than the playlist, the feeling of being in a room where creativity and community collide.
From clothing swaps rooted in sustainability to candlelit dinners where strangers became friends, every gathering has carried that same heartbeat: intention, imagination, and a little bit of magic. Each event is a love letter to Chicago's creative spirit and the people who keep showing up to shape it with us.
Our Mission
At Mixed Mediums, we've always believed creativity shouldn't feel like some secret club with a velvet rope. Arts and crafts are for everyone!
Our workshops are built to feel like walking into a friend's living room (if your friend also happens to have clay, paint, fabric scraps, and snacks on hand). Total beginners? We love you. Seasoned pros? We've got ways to keep you curious.
Whether it's your first brushstroke or your hundredth stitch on a quilt, we'll hand you the tools, cheer you on, and make sure you leave with something you're proud of — even if that "something" is just a new inside joke and paint on your shoes. 🎨✨

Follow Our Journey
Think of @mixedchicago as our open diary. It's where we share the process (chaotic, inspiring, sometimes both), the highlight reels, and those quiet moments that don't always make it into the spotlight.
If you've been to an event, you'll recognize the vibe. If you haven't, you'll get a taste of what's waiting. Either way — it's just the beginning.
