Technical Workshop for Aspiring Farmers Market Managers

Starting a Farmers Market?

Starting a Farmers Market requires long-term planning and could present challenges with permiting, regulations, and marketing. In support of the Culinary industry in Chicago, the Arts + Creative Industries division of the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) is scheduling Technical Assistance Workshops for organizations interested in starting a Farmers Market in their neighborhood.

Workshops

These Technical Assistance Workshops will be held on Friday afternoons this fall at the Chicago Cultural Center. Sign up for a date at the bottom of this page.

The Arts + Creative Industries division also supports Chicago's Film, Music, Fashion, and Visual and Performing Arts industries. DCASE is dedicated to enriching Chicago’s artistic vitality and cultural vibrancy.
