“The fair contributes greatly to Chicago’s rich cultural community, and its longstanding connection to the city makes it an important convening moment for arts patrons, curators and collectors in the United States,” says Tony Karman, president and director of EXPO CHICAGO. “We are excited to welcome the many new and returning galleries to Chicago for our 11th edition as, together, we will showcase the best that our city has to offer.”
