Chicago Store Sneak Peek #3: Learn Something Upstairs in the Gallery

byThreadless/
News/
August 7, 2007

Walk into Threadless Chicago and you'll have 2 choices. Up or down. Downstairs is where the shopping takes place. Upstairs you'll find a mezzanine area overlooking the first floor with all kinds of different things going on. Primarily, it's a gallery. The gallery will showcase all kinds of different artists but will consist mainly of work by winning Threadless designers.

There are 6 portable desks, each with 2 chairs and a computer that can be moved in and out of the space depending on the type of event. In addition to having gallery showings and openings, we'll be hosting various events like group critiques or flying a winning designer in to show how they created their design. Or maybe free milk & cookies on new tee shirt day every week :)

And I saved the best for last! We've teamed up with Digital Bootcamp to provide courses on all sorts of different creative subjects and programs right in the store. Anywhere from courses on ideas like web design or photography to specific programs like Photoshop or Illustrator.

There will be no shortage of things to learn, see and do upstairs in the Threadless store... we'll have a calendar of events put together by the grand opening on September 14th so stay tuned!

THEY FINALLY USED MY IDEA!!! (sort of)

I've been saying forever that each shirt order should ship with a free cookie.

I can't wait until Threadless: The Videogame comes out for Wii. I hear it'll have motion controls that allow you to make Craig do crazy dances and throw things at the Jakes.

i ilive north of chicago im excited for this but at the same time sorta disappointed...

i read a newspaper article i think it was in the chicago tribune a couple months back (more like a year ago) covering Threadless, one of the questions was "Would you ever consider opening up a store?"

they replied no, because shopping online is a large focus of the community, and i really believe so.

making threadless into a store is a great step for the company, it just seems like the site is going to mainstream, if that makes any sense. im not trying to be like some kid who likes all the under ground stuff, but IMO threadless should just stay online

even if they are going to be a little more mainstream than what they used to be...they are doing it with style. no other company is this involved
