Unlock ›Audience breakdowns, past brand work and realistic rates for art & photography creators in Chicago, free on a strategy call.
We track at least 52 art & photography creators with a verified home base in Chicago, part of our own database of tracked creators. This page lists the 32 largest by audience whose profile and metrics verified on the last refresh. Engagement rate is likes plus comments divided by followers. Average views come from recent posts. Nothing here is hand-picked and a place on the list is not a recommendation: it is the top of the list by size, and the engagement band on each card is there so you can judge for yourself.
Home base comes from the creator’s own location, not from where they post about. This page shows public Instagram data only. If you’re listed and want changes or removal, email hello@sup.co and we’ll act on it fast.

FAQ
Everything on this page is measured from live Instagram data. These answers are generated from the 32 creators shown above, so they change when the data does.
This page ranks 32 art & photography creators in Chicago. We track at least 52 of them and list the largest by audience here, with the engagement rate and average views behind each one.
The median creator on this page has 13K followers, and the median engagement rate across the page is 2.0%. By size, 34% are nano creators (under 10,000 followers), 53% are micro creators (10,000 to 100,000) and 13% are mid-tier creators (100,000 to 500,000).
Tyler Clark (@inspirebytyler) has the largest following on this page at 125K. Follower count is not the same as performance though. Jennifer Grace (@sincerelyjennifergrace) has the highest engagement rate here at 23.98%, which is usually the better signal of whether an audience is paying attention.
Across this page the most common post categories are Art & Illustration, Photography & Videography, DIY & Crafts and Local Things to Do. These come from what the creators actually post, not from a self-declared bio.
Every creator here has a verified Chicago home base. The places they mention most in their posts are Chicago, Columbus and Shibam. By country, the most mentioned are United States, Italy and United Kingdom. These are mentions in content, so they show where a creator talks about, which is not always where their audience lives.
We hold the email address and the going rate for every creator on this page, but we do not publish either. Book a strategy call and we will share the ones relevant to your brief, along with the audience breakdown behind each profile.
Follower counts, engagement rates and average views are collected directly from Instagram and TikTok and recalculated on every refresh, not carried over from an older pull. There is no survey and no panel behind these numbers. You can read the full method on our methodology page.
We source, negotiate, contract, pay and track. You approve every step and only pay for posts that go live. Creators matched to your brief in 6 hours.
