From 6-9 p.m., art lovers can visit galleries and businesses by following the map, pictured here, or visit any of the locations you’d like. Framing Mode at 1526 S. Wabash Ave. will be celebrating their 10th anniversary in the South Loop featuring a exhibition titled “The Landscape is Changing,” featuring “a group exhibition of original works dedicated to the windy city.” The opening reception is from 6-10 p.m. If the weather is rainy, the Reggies rock bus will be shuttling participants between locations.

Party like it’s 1850!
