Spring is shaping up to be a busy season in Chicago’s art world, with new exhibitions across galleries and museums. Behind the scenes, many people in the community are working tirelessly to support artists and bring fresh perspectives to the public. We spoke with five insiders about what excites them now and what they anticipate next.

Victor Armendariz – Gallery Victor

“Gallery VICTOR’s busy spring and summer schedule includes a wonderful exhibit of photography by Kirill Polevoy titled Allure, which opened in conjunction with EXPO Chicago/Frieze on April 25. 

We are also thrilled to announce our representation of long-time Chicago artist Leopold Segedin, who passed away in January and left behind an extraordinary body of work.

In May we will open a show at the Art Center Highland Park, Gallery VICTOR Presents: Our Time, which is an overview of the gallery that will fill all TACHP’s massive space through mid-June. Our summer show of monumental paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Nathan Brad Hall will cap off season.”
