Fall West Loop Contemporary Fine Art Expo to take place October 17–19, following debut of spring edition in May 2025.

This October the inaugural Fall West Loop Contemporary Fine Art Expo will take place from October 17–19, 2025 at the Stephen M. Bailey Auditorium, located in Plumbers Hall at 1340 W. Washington Blvd. Close to Randolph Street’s many acclaimed restaurants, the expo brings a curated selection of fine art to one of the city’s buzziest, creative neighborhoods.

Presented by LA-based Gourmet Expos, the three-day event offers an intimate, boutique-style art fair experience featuring more than 40 invitation-only artists from seven states across the Midwest and beyond. Visitors can explore a wide array of original artwork in styles ranging from abstract expressionism and post-impressionism to encaustic, pop realism, and sculpture, with all works available for purchase directly from the artists.

A small-scale, artist-driven fair set inside a historic Beaux-Arts auditorium, the fair aims to create a dialogue between artists and collectors in an atmosphere that isn't intimidating and that is especially appealing to first time collectors looking for unique art by living artists. Each artist will be present to speak about their work, making this expo as much about connection as it is about discovery.
