Happy summer! There is so much going on in the city this summer that we are eager to share our calendar as well as our news highlights with you this season.  Art is also happening beyond our borders, in the suburbs, and even into Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. Keep up with the current list of openings and enjoy an art-filled weekend.

Coming up there are many chances to explore sculpture parks, museum family days, walking tours, and more. Read our highlights and new interviews in our news pages. We feature Tony Fitzpatrick's Secret Birds at the Poetry Foundation, an interview with painter Gwendolyn Zabicki, the new Jaume Plensa installations in Millennium Park for the park's 10th anniversary, and the recent opening of the Ed Paschke Art Center in Jefferson Park.

CGN has been a busy social media bee on Twitter and Facebook for a long time, but we arrived late to the Instagram party (see some of our first images at left). Check out our current snaps here and follow along.

As always our Openings list is the area's go-to guide, and you'll love our expanded calendar, with events sorted by category. Keep scrolling down the page to see more news and opening highlights as well. To read the summer issue online, click here. See you in the galleries!
