Let's get this straight, upfront: This is going to be a thoroughly kickass weekend, maybe a better Art Fair weekend than Chicago has ever seen, with more collaborators, more events, more art, more fun, and more synergy, in large part due to the largesse of the Merchandise Mart and their vision.

There are FIVE Fairs (all the weekend of April 26th through April 30th):

• ArtChicago     (exhibitor list)
• Bridge Art Fair   (exhibitor list)
• The Intuit Show   (exhibitor list)
• The Artist Project (exhibitor list)
• The Antiques Fair (exhibitor list)
