MadMade Print Fair

  • Access Living 115 West Chicago Avenue Chicago, Illinois, 60654 United States (map)

Join us for MadMade, a free, one-day event uplifting the creative work of artists living with psychiatric disabilities and mental health challenges. This community-centered fair brings together artists, organizers, and visitors to celebrate art that resists stigma, builds connection, and honors lived experience.

MadMade is more than a print fair—it’s a gathering built on inclusion, care, and cultural empowerment. Visitors are invited to explore and purchase artwork from printmakers, illustrators, designers, and zine makers working across screenprinting, linocut, risograph, etching, digital processes, and more.

This mad-positive, disability-affirming event centers the artists themselves rather than diagnoses or treatments. MadMade offers a counter-narrative to both clinical and romanticized depictions of mental illness, instead highlighting real people making real work—art that is beautiful, messy, joyful, angry, and thoughtful—work that sparks conversation and fosters community.
