Those who live in close proximity to Chicago (or who happen to be visiting next weekend) will want to take advantage of the arts filled weekend ahead. Art Chicago, held April 25-28 in the Merchandise Mart, features international contemporary and modern art—painting, photography, drawing, prints, sculpture, video and special installations—by more than 2,000 artists (represented by 180 of the world's top galleries).

How delighted we (in Cincinnati) were to learn several months back that Cincinnati’s own Carl Solway Gallery had been chosen by a committee of esteemed names in the art world to exhibit in this year’s festivities! “Carl Solway Gallery can consider themselves among the finest company in the arts world today,” said Tony Karman, Art Chicago director of Sales and development.
