About

The Randolph Street Market Festival is home to the world-renowned Chicago Antique Market, Indie Designer Market, Modern Vintage Chicago and the Holiday Market.

As seen in Travel & Leisure, the NY Times, Lucky Magazine and featured on TV news shows and web casts, the Randolph Street Market Festival is considered “a mecca of cool”, “the best hot spot for antiquing”, “the best Chicago venue for people watching”, and “the Barney’s of Vintage”. Celebrity designer Nate Berkus says, “I love this market…the quality is incredible!” As one of Chicago’s most happening monthly parties, Randolph Street Market has become the summer destination!

Named “Top 50 Global Event Planners” in 2002 by Special Events Magazine and recognized as the Midwest’s premier market organizers, Image Pilot’s productions are a favorite destination for merchandisers, decorators, fashionistas and trendsetters from around the globe.

Established by Sally Schwartz in 1985 as Paint Me A Party Productions, the company was renamed Image Pilots in 2002 to reflect a virtual team and a broader focus on trends in marketing and merchandising. Image Pilots is a live event production and consulting firm and the successful group behind the Randolph Street Market, home to the Chicago Antique Market, a monthly indoor/outdoor urban antique and collectibles flea market and the Indie Designer Fashion Market, the monthly hub for emerging fashion talent. Randolph Street Market Festival also serves as producers of the Modern Vintage Chicago, a bi-annual vintage and indie fashion event; and the annual Randolph Street Holiday Market.

A 23-year veteran of advertising, special event marketing, and unadulterated party planning, Sally’s goal is to create legendary business and social events as image building vehicles, high in visual impact and marketing punch.
