First Fridays in River North
For years the public has regularly asked, “Are gallery openings on First Fridays?” As well known as the phrase is, in River North there has never been such an event, since most openings happen every six to eight weeks. The Museum of Contemporary Art has had such a program, and other art districts in the city have designated monthly public opening nights, but it is in River North that the “First Friday” myth has long persisted. Until now...
Most galleries in the River North gallery district will now stay open late on the first Friday of every month (times will vary for each gallery). See a list of participating partner galleries below. First Friday openings are free and open to the public. Celebrate each new month with art while visiting and supporting Chicago's local galleries!
