Join us for the UIC School of Art & Art History Open Studios!
Open Studios Salon at Gallery 400
6-7pm
Join us at Gallery 400 for a conversation connecting Chicago’s young artists and collectors from across the city. In an intimate circle inside the gallery, UIC MFA students and area collectors discuss art today and the relationships that surround it. What are young artists thinking about? What are tomorrow’s ideas about art? What are collectors interested in now? How are artists and collectors connected? Collector Scott Hunter facilitates this inclusive conversation.
Enjoy drinks and hors d’oeuvres as we connect the dots in the constellations created by art makers and art collectors in Chicago.
