Founded

I am passionate about art and some friends and I are looking to learn more about it. We are going to check out all of the great art galleries once a week in River North, the West Loop, Wicker Park, and anywhere else.

This Meetup Group is welcome and open to all who are residents of and visitors to Chicago. Our purpose is to meet with others who have an interest in and take enjoyment in appreciating art. The benefits are to enjoy and learn more about art, art galleries, and meet others with similar interests. By analyzing art and thinking about what the purpose of it is, you gain an increased sense of awareness and accuracy overall.
