About eaim

When it comes to the fine arts, Chicago long has proven to be one of the more accepting and affluent cities in the United States, and within Chicago, the Edgewater neighborhood is among the most artistic local communities in the city. Located on the far north side of Chicago, Edgewater is a fantastic residential neighborhood with plenty of burgeoning businesses, including restaurants, pubs, and shops, but with a number of locals involved heavily in art, theater, and music, the area serves as an important hub for displaying the work of local artists.

THAT'S WHY EDGEWATER ARTISTS IN MOTION exisits
​

Ten years ago, the area wasn’t what it has become. A 2009 economic downturn left a number of storefronts vacant, so Rae Ann Cecrle, a neighborhood resident, took that opportunity to invest in a venture to showcase the work of local artists as a means of revitalizing the neighborhood. With Edgewater located so close to Loyola University, that revitalization proved crucial, and today our storefront and local events strive to showcase art, assist area businesses, and create a sense of community here in Edgewater.​​

HELPING EDGEWATER THROUGH THE ARTS

Art.    Business.    Community.

ART

First and foremost, we want to showcase original community art here in Edgewater. With over 1,600 artists and art lovers in this community, the impact of this type of attraction is essential to giving those residents an opportunity to showcase their work and passion at our art gallery. Those who believe the world needs more art should visit Edgewater sometime. It’s here in droves.

BUSINESS

Another primary goal of Edgewater Artists in Motion is to enhance Edgewater’s appeal as a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly commercial district to assist existing businesses and attract new business. When the area was struggling following the recession of ten years ago, it was art that helped rebuild interest and pride in the area. Now, several community organizations and businesses are thriving, and here at Edgewater Artists in Motion, we love knowing that we played a role in assisting in that revitalization.

COMMUNITY

We also want to continue establishing Edgewater as a cultural destination in Chicago for the long-term benefit of the community. Art is important in this city, but it is especially important to Edgewater artists. EAIM showcases original art, involves community art programs, and events, which helps the sustainability of art in Edgewater, for the long-term success in this beautiful city of Chicago. If you are interested in experiencing this community, plan a visit to Edgewater to participate in the art and culture we are helping to build here.

Our Commitment Promise and Mission

We are a 501 (c)3 organization and a community of over 1,600 artists and art lovers. Our mission is to:
1. Enhance Edgewater’s appeal as a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly commercial district to assist existing businesses and attract new business. 
2. Showcase original art in Edgewater, for the enjoyment of the entire community. 
3. Establish Edgewater as a premier cultural destination in Chicago, for the long-term benefit of the community.
