The inaugural Chicago Exhibition Weekend (CXW) will celebrate visual arts organizations across the city September 29-October 1. The weekend will bring together over 50 galleries, institutions, and artist-run spaces to present exhibitions that encourage everyone from seasoned collectors to those new to engaging with Chicago’s visual arts scene to explore unique programs, extended hours and more. CXW will also welcome the city’s next generation of talented business, civic, and philanthropic leaders to engage with gallerists, artists, and curators through community dinners, programming, and a closing celebration that aims to cultivate the relationships needed for the city’s arts scene to continue to thrive.

CXW Block Party: Gertie's 1st Birthday →

Chicago is not only the most vibrant breeding ground for artistic talent in the world, but we have incredibly thoughtful and educated young professionals in this city – an amazing next generation of business, civic and philanthropic leaders who are just waiting to be invited in. If we intentionally start to build bridges between those artists and that next generation of leaders, earners and investors, we unlock the potential of this city to assume its position as a world class destination for artists to come up and to stay here.
