A new exhibition at the Art Institute, gallery conversations, parties, a book signing and family programs offer plenty of reasons to get out this Saturday. Here is the final part of our preview for November 12, 13 and 14.

And think of the CGN team working all night putting the finishing touches on the 2027 Arts Guide while you're out enjoying art! —CGN
