The Donut Shop
(Rogers Park)
Established in 2011, the Donut Shop is a small independent print + publishing operation focused on artist publications, editions and various print ephemera.The Donut Shop is a curatorial endeavor focused on selling affordable work that promotes emerging artists and engages new collectors. Using the model of the bakery as a method of distribution the vernacular of food consumption is mimicked to define selection, packaging, and pricing. They take the collection into the physical world sending the work directly to the audience. Combining an innovative form of artwork delivery and the public’s magical, wacky obsession with the donut, the aim is to encourage public engagement, accessibility, and empowered viewership at events and in the arts community.
