A true variety store in Portage Park – packed with local art, rescued treasures, gag gifts, funky tees & SO much more… where EVERYONE is welcome & all budgets are loved.
A true variety store in the heart of Portage Park, filled with local art, rescued treasures, vintage oddities, gag gifts & graphic tees for all ages. EVERYONE is welcome & every budget is loved — with fun finds starting at just .95 CENTS (often cheaper than the darn dollar store… no tariff drama here!).
We’re all about self-expression, sustainability & that spark of WONDERMENT — you never really know what you’ll find @ Ecclection, and that’s the magic. And if you’re feeling generous, yes… we also welcome gold or silver donations. We’ll happily take those off your hands — purely out of kindness, of course 😄.
where community meets art, odd treasures & good weird vibes
Here’s a little peek at the wonderfully weird, wildly talented humans who make Ecclection what it is. Our artists don’t “rotate” like a gallery — most stay with us for a long while, which keeps things honest, cozy and community-focused. Painters, sewists, jewelry makers, photographers, sculptors… all kinds of magic lives here. If you’re an artist and want to join this tiny WONDERLAND, reach out through our contact page — we offer affordable spaces (starting at just $20/month) so you can share your work, be seen and stay inspired.
Meet the Artists
Featured Artists
Ecclection proudly supports REAL, local artists. Our murals, photo ops, visuals, web design & all the fun creative stuff are made by humans in our community — never machines.
We may use AI here and there for tiny idea sparks, but we do not use AI for final artwork. People first — always.
By browsing our site, you’re supporting human-made art, local creators & the beautifully imperfect magic only real people make.
VIBRANT VARIETY SHOP™
PORTAGE PARK, CHICAGO
Ecclection is a neighborhood shop where families, artists & curious neighbors (obviously!) come to browse, laugh, trade, discover & just hang out. From our little Barter Box — where you can swap fun thrift finds without spending a dime — to the spontaneous spins of the Wheel of Good Fortune offering surprise discounts, freebies or glitter‑powered blessings, there’s always something unexpected happening. Our playful Find Waldo hunt keeps both the shop and our Instagram buzzing with hidden‑treasure rewards. And of course, our Donation Drop is always open for clothing, décor, art supplies & other goodies that help fuel our sustainability mission (gold coins & diamonds still optional… but appreciated). Ecclection is more than a store — it’s a quirky mix of creativity, community, weird & wonderful finds, and everyday joy!
