Get Your Art Fix This Weekend - Art Chicago and NEXT

Art invades the city this May 1st through 4th with Art Chicago 2009 and NEXT, the annual international fair of contemporary, modern, and emerging art. Enjoy the best of both art worlds with these two excellent events located at the beautiful Merchandise Mart. Art Chicago houses a unique variety of current and classical work in an array of mediums, with everything from modern installations to historic paintings. NEXT focuses on Chicago’s emerging art with “works from both commercial and non-commercial arts organizations--galleries, project spaces, art publications and key private contemporary collections from around the world.” Although the number of exhibitors is down this year, there is still plenty of excellent work to see. Browse through over 200 gallery mini exhibitions and enjoy all that Art Chicago and NEXT have to offer!
