The Chicago Art Open
The Chicago Art Open was founded by the Chicago Artists' Coalition in 1998 and remains the premiere survey of local art. Held in October as a centerpiece of Chicago Artists' Month, the Chicago Art Open features the work of around 300 Chicago artists, primarily professional but also including work from emerging and student artists. In 2008, the Chicago Art Open will be held at a new venue, at the Merchandise Mart in River North.
