Janie's Art Journals Opens Chicago Holiday Season at Nature Museum's Sustainable Makers' Market

CHICAGO - Nov. 21, 2025 - PRLog -- Janie's Art Journals launches its Chicago holiday market season as one of only 14 sustainable artists featured at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum's Sustainable Holiday Makers' Market, Saturday, November 29, 10:00am to 2:00pm.

The curated event marks the start of the holiday season for Janie's Art Journals, offering Chicago a chance to acquire unique paper art journals, upcycled from discarded books, recycled packaging, reclaimed paper, vintage fabrics, and artisan materials from Oaxaca, Mexico sourced through the Mexico, Cultura y Orgullo collective.

"I'm honored that the Nature Museum and select Chicago partners like Gateway Markets, Underground Art Market, and Pilsen Zine Fest have embraced my emerging sustainable art initiative. Their support is especially meaningful during a time when Latino artists place themselves in peril by simply venturing outside. Being chosen for the Sustainable Holiday Makers' Market is a milestone for Janie's Art Journals, affirming the value of conscious creativity for which I am sincerely grateful," stated Flores.

More Chicago holiday market dates will be announced throughout the season.
