Artropolis
By the way, Artropolis is this weekend–arguably the biggest arts event in Chi. Some less spin-y write up of it via the Chicagoist. If you guys see anything interesting to you, just let me know and we can work it into the plans. I haven’t scanned the events yet, but will update if I see something particularly good.
Edit: As the Chicagoist notes, there are about a zillion gallery openings in the west loop and river north. Even better, they seem to be running mostly from 5-9. Can you say free wine and dinner pre-show? If there is popular interest, I’ll make us a list of likely stops.
More Edit: There is a large concentration of galleries on Superior, which is about the half-way point between our place and the show–just to give you spacial perspective.
