Saturday, October 10th, 2015: 11am - 7pm

The Pilsen East Artists' Open House is a well-loved neighborhood tradition, open to visitors of the Chicago Arts District and intended to showcase the amazing talent in our neighborhood. Now in its 45th year, the Pilsen East Artists' Open House is an integral part of Chicago's cultural history, and is one of the oldest continually-run annual arts events in Chicago and the Midwest.

The Open House is a self-guided walking tour of the intimate world of the working artist. Not only can visitors experience the 30+ galleries that comprise the Chicago Arts District, but they are also invited into the otherwise private artist residences, studios, and workspaces. Visitors can experience art at its source as they talk with artists, view and buy art, enjoy a performance, view the Curated Show, or stroll through the gardens of the Chicago Arts District.

The 45th Annual Pilsen East Artists' Open House will feature the work of both established and emerging artists in Chicago's oldest art community. Some neighborhood favorites include Xavier Nuez, the showPODs, Mary Lou Stewart, Clinard Dance Theatre, TEMPLE Gallery, NYCH Gallery, Studio Oh!, and Windy City Strobists. Don't miss this unique glimpse into the life and work of our many artists!
