Janie’s Art Journals Named Cultural Arts Representative for North American Pavilion at World Fair US

Janie’s Art Journals has been honored with the selection as the Cultural Arts Desk Representative of the North American Pavilion at the first-ever World Fair US in Chicago. This recognition comes after a successful 2024 arts and crafts season in southeastern Wisconsin and the receipt of the Craft Industry Alliance Scholarship, marking a significant milestone for the brand in the Chicago arts scene.

The World Fair US, taking place from July 7 through July 28 at the transformed SeatGeek Stadium, is set to be a highlight of the summer. It promises to be a global festival featuring music, rides, cuisine, and artistic traditions from around the world, making it a must-visit for families and cultural enthusiasts.

Janie’s Art Journals, under the creative direction of founder Janie Flores, continues to push the boundaries of sustainable art. The brand specializes in creating unique works from discarded books, reclaimed papers, vintage textiles, and other materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. This approach not only showcases the potential of upcycling but also promotes self-discovery, healing, and connection through art.

Flores expressed her gratitude for the opportunity, noting the challenges faced by emerging artists in securing resources for their work. The selection for the World Fair US represents a dream realized for Flores and her team, offering a platform to reach new audiences and patrons.

Tickets for the World Fair US are available at https://worldfairus.com, with special promotions available for seniors and families. The event will be open daily from 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm at SeatGeek Stadium, located at 7000 S. Harlem Avenue, Bridgeview, IL.

This appointment not only elevates Janie’s Art Journals on an international stage but also underscores the growing importance of sustainability in the arts. By repurposing materials destined for waste, the brand is at the forefront of a movement that combines environmental consciousness with creative expression, setting a precedent for future artists and artisans.
