I saw several artists selling their artworks on Michigan avenue by the Art Institute. Do I need a license or something to sell my paintings there? Does city of Chicago allow this or this is illegal?

Thank you

Actually, artists can get their street peddling and pan handling license from the same organization.

I was trying to find out how to get a licence to sell artworks for an artist and it seems to be a pretty complicated and time consuming process. So, Ok, now I see that it's not that easy to sell paintings in Chicago...

But I think I have better idea... Would it be legal to give away some samples of my artworks for free? like a postcards with reference to my web site and invitation to purchase more online... do I need a peddling license for this too? Will I be arrested if I try to do this on Michigan ave?

Thank you
