Alo Agency: Finding the future of commerce
Renegade Craft Fair
This summer we're excited for so many things: ice cream trucks, music festivals, and perhaps most of all - pop-up shops! Most recently, on May 13th and 14th the Renegade Craft Fair came through Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood.
In attendance were entrepreneurs and artists from all over the country, including a great representation of talent from right here in Chicago. We had the good fortune to meet a few of the amazing makers showcasing their wares at the event.
Here are a selection of our favorites
