Over indulge in art in Wicker Park and Bucktown...

We're keeping tabs on neighborhood art spaces so you don't have to!

Read our latest WPB Weekend Arts Guide to see how to get your dose of art this weekend from the comfort of your couch or out at the galleries across Wicker Park and Bucktown. 

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.

And, 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!
