North Shore Fine Art Expo

North Shore Fine Art Expo is a boutique, curated, original-art-only event arriving at The Orrington Hotel, steps from Northwestern University, November 13–15, 2026.


The Expo brings together an eclectic group of contemporary artists from across the United States, many of them exhibiting exclusively in Greater Chicagoland. Every artist will be on-site to discuss their work, giving collectors, first-time buyers, and art lovers a rare chance to connect directly with the people behind the work and to acquire fine art at accessible prices.


Visitors can expect an extraordinary range of styles and media, including abstraction, abstract expressionism, cityscapes, drawing, encaustic, fiber art, figurative work, impressionism, mixed media, pastel, plein air, pop art, portraiture, realism, sculpture, still life, and watercolor.
