Collective Soul

You get it: Restaurants are rampant, Damen is designer central, blah blah blah. One more word about Wicker Park and you might actually fall asleep.

No Coast, a new design collective in Pilsen, should open your eyes. The space houses local print and fiber artists (Frei Designs) in back and a bright, colorful consignment store up front.

For sale: local and international artists’ creations on the cheap (nearly everything is below $50). Browse books by local Featherproof press, prints by Apenest, artwork by Claire Nereim and Julie Cloutier, Paper Monument journals, buttons and zines by Sweetie Pie Press, music by Obey Your Brain, and much more.

Merch is constantly changing, so you’ll always find something new.

Sounds like a golden co-opportunity.


No Coast, 1500 West 17th Street, at Laflin Street (no-coast.org).
