Celebrate YEA! at lollie

Join us at lollie for an event benefiting the Young Evanston Artists Foundation.

On May 19th, the Foundation hosts their annual YEA! DAY in the Chicago/Dempster Shopping District, where over 1,000 children from over 40 local schools exhibit and perform their art. Non-competitive and non-commercial, YEA! aims to "nurture, enable, inspire" children's self-esteem, imagination and creativity.  

For those attending this exciting outdoor festival, we invite you to shop at our store anytime from 10am – 5pm. 10% of the day's sales* will be donated directly to YEA! Those who spend $75 or more will receive a special gift bag (while supplies last).

All little artists that stop in are welcome to make their own masterpiece! They can take their work home, or leave it with us to display in our window.
