Join us for Sip + Shop, a monthly gathering at the L1 Retail Store that celebrates local creative entrepreneurs with a curated shopping experience, good drinks, bites, and even better vibes. Each month, our Entrepreneur-in-Residence, Peter Gaona of Reformed School, invites guest entrepreneurs to share their work and connect with the community—it’s an easy, joyful way to #SupportSouthSideArtists.

As part of The Winter Lounge, our December Sip + Shop brings an extra dash of holiday spirit with ornament making alongside featured guests Raíces Plant Bodega, offering festive wreaths and ornaments, and multidisciplinary artist Simone Yael. Come sip, shop, create, and spread some warmth with us on the Arts Block!

All APL programs are free and open to the public. To help us continue to provide these programs and build a hub for arts & culture on the South Side, we appreciate donations of all sizes. Your support sustains the rich ecosystem of artists that make the Arts Block so vibrant. To make a donation, please visit our giving page.
