Artem Pop Up Gallery is a space built on art, heart, and community.

What began as a leap of faith has grown into a welcoming gallery in downtown Evanston, where local artists and meaningful connections come together. Every piece here carries a story, and every visit is meant to feel inspiring, calm, and personal.

Artem was made possible with the unwavering support of my family — my husband Salil, a graphic designer and an artist, who has always been my quiet strength behind the scenes, and my children Varun and Riya, industrial designers and artists in their own right. They encouraged me to take the leap when I hesitated, and even stepped in to run the gallery for four years while I worked full time.

Even today, they continue to show up — supporting, helping, and believing in this journey alongside me.

Artem is more than a gallery.

It is a shared space of creativity, connection, and joy.

We invite you to stop by, take your time, and discover something that speaks to you.
