Time Out Market Chicago, located at 916 W. Fulton Market, has announced a variety of events taking place Thursday, June 16th through Sunday, June 19th. 
 
The full weekend lineup features: 
 

  • Biggie vs Tupac Paint & Sip (Tupac's Birthday) | Thursday June 16th at 5:30 p.m.

Artists have the opportunity to pick a side in the East Coast and West Coast hip-hop rivalry during this special paint and sip event. Each attendee will paint a canvas depicting rapper Biggie Smalls or Tupac Shakur, with some guidance from an expert instructor.

A $75 ticket includes a 16"x20" canvas, painting supplies, an apron, and a $20 credit that can be used to purchase food and drinks to fuel creativity. 

  • Abstract Mindstate Panel Discussion & Concert plus RSVP Gallery Art Installation - A celebration of hip hop culture | Friday June 17th at 6:30 p.m. 

Chicago-born rappers Olskool Ice-Gre and E.P. da Hellcat — who make up the hip-hop duo Abstract Mindstate — had slipped into semi-retirement prior to 2018, when Kanye West signed them as the first artists on his new label YZY SND. Flash forward to 2021: The duo released a brand new record (titled Dreams Still Inspire and produced by Kanye West) and a documentary (We Paid Let Us In! The Legend of Abstract Mindstate) that's been screened in film festival circuits worldwide, and were featured in the Netflix documentary Jeen-Yuhs. 
 

Attendees can learn more about Abstract Mindstate's resurrection at this exclusive Time Out Market Chicago panel discussion, when the duo will be joined by Chicago poet and radio show host Mario Smith for a discussion about their reunion and all things Chicago hip-hop. Plus, catch an RSVP Gallery- curated exhibit featuring historic photos of Abstract Mindstate and designs by Don Crawley (aka Don C), the influential streetear designer and music executive. 

The panel discussion will include both members of Abstract Mindstate and will be moderated by Mario Smith.
 

  • Juneteenth Pop-Up Market | Saturday June 18th - 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

Stash Market takes over the second floor of Time Out Market. This curated shopping experience where people, art, and handmade designs merge for an afternoon full of inspiration, variety, creativity, will feature black-owned local brands and vendors. The market is free to attend. 
 
8 p.m.  - 11 p.m. 

  • Brunch & Brews | Sunday June 19th 

To complement the market’s Sunday brunch offerings, Chicago Brewer Moors Beer will be sampling a selection of brews from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. while local artist Aziza Lisa performs.
