Artropolis 2011-Concierge Preferred
Chicago is about to be taken over by the arts! On April 29th, the epic art show, Artropolis, is returning to the Merchandise Mart. This four-day celebration of all things art and culture will fill the hallways of the iconic building with many different types of art, including painting, photography, drawings, prints, sculpture, video and special installations; and there will also be daily keynotes and presentations from artists, curators and collectors.
Sharing the center stage this year are Art Chicago and NEXT, both showcasing modern and contemporary work from galleries all around the world and featuring the work of lesser known artists and private collections.
And for those who prefer old-fashioned beauty as opposed to modern eccentricity, the Merchandise Mart International Antiques Fair will also be a large feature, with pieces available to purchase from notable national and international antiques dealers.
Take the opportunity from April 29th to May 2nd to immerse yourself in the unique and intriguing galleries of modern art and classic antiques of Artropolis 2011. Whether you’re an artist, art enthusiast, or just looking to open your eyes up to the world of art, everyone can enjoy – and maybe walk away with a purchase or two – at this stylish and renowned celebration. Tickets and hours are available at www.artropolischicago.com.
