Get started on your holiday shopping for Chicago-made art, objects and more at Buddy – a new store created by the Public Media Institute to give Chicago's artists and small manufacturers a place to showcase and sell their goods and artwork. The extraordinary selection of curated art, jewelry, publications, music and toys is now available online at hi-buddy.org in anticipation of the store that will be located in the Chicago Cultural Center when it reopens. 100% of sales go directly to the artists until 2021.

And show off your Chicago pride with artist-designed Official Summer Festival Merchandise for the Chicago House Music Festival, Chicago Gospel Music Festival, Chicago Blues Festival, Taste of Chicago, Chicago Jazz Festival and the City of Chicago itself – available at dcase.tsmgi.net. Each T-shirt was designed by a local artist in collaboration with the Design Museum of Chicago, and a portion of sales benefit the Arts for Illinois Relief Fund. On Cyber Monday (November 30) through December 6, get $10 off when you spend $50 or more; while supplies last.

"Spend Green, Shop Black" when you shop online and order food to go this Black Friday and throughout the holiday season. The new website www.BlackShopFriday.com includes a guide to more than 500 local Black-owned businesses that can be searched by category and/or neighborhood. Black Shop Friday is a partnership of the City of Chicago, the Chicago Urban League and advertising agency O'Keefe Reinhard & Paul (OKRP).
