Additionally, EXPO CHICAGO is proud to offer a limited number of Special Exhibition areas for museums and international not-for-profits.
EXPO CHICAGO remains committed to presenting its critically acclaimed onsite programming including IN/SITU, large-scale, site–specific installations, as well as EXPO VIDEO, a highly curated selection of dynamic and cutting-edge video art presented in conjunction with Columbia College Chicago. Chosen exhibitors of EXPO CHICAGO are welcome to submit proposals for IN/SITU and EXPO VIDEO once they are accepted into the exposition.
With 30,000 visitors attending EXPO CHICAGO, the exposition attracts regional, national and international collectors, curators and art enthusiasts to Chicago each September. In addition to the unwavering support of Chicago’s civic and cultural leaders, key events and exhibitions will align with EXPO CHICAGO during EXPO ART WEEK, September 15 to 21, a citywide celebration of art and culture that includes museum exhibitions, gallery openings, installations, public art projects, music, theater and dance performances and special dining experiences.
Northern Trust is the presenting sponsor of EXPO CHICAGO.
