Embrace the fall season: take in the neighborhood art offerings

Embrace the fall season this gloomy weekend and take in the neighborhood art offerings! We've got plenty to keep you busy both at home and out in the neighborhood in our latest WPB Weekend Arts Guide, including info on a seasonal Scarecrow Walk...

Please note that the current situation has a lot of businesses adapting quickly. Hours listed here may not be exact and are subject to change at any moment. Please check in with a business before visiting in person and be patient and understanding if hours differ from those here or a space has elected to change their reopening strategy.

Be sure to always wear a mask in public, in businesses, and while on public ways with others. Wash your hands frequently and remain properly distanced. Always respect a business' customer limit, health practices, and hygiene requirements. 

We also suggest visiting the ARTS FOR ILLINOIS website!

THE SCARECROW WALK
Thanks to the Wicker Park Advisory Council, Wicker Park Committee, and the Chicago Park District, you can get out to enjoy the fresh autumn air while you walk the Scarecrow Walk! See the map HERE.
