Art Chicago in the Park 2006 will return to its spectacular downtown location at Butler Field on Chicago's beautiful lakefront. The fair will take place from April 28 - May 1, in a gracious tent structure across from the Art Institute of Chicago and adjacent to the world famous Millennium Park. Last year's pavilion-in-the-park made a captivating impact on the ever-changing urban landscape of downtown Chicago and was met with unanimous approval and accolades. Plans for this year's exposition will offer visitors and the participating dealers an even greater setting than last year. The double tent structure, approximately 125,000 square feet, will include added dining amenities and designated facilities for lectures, events, and special exhibitions. 2006 will mark the 14th year for Thomas Blackman Associates' Art Chicago and this year promises to be a stellar event. Many returning galleries will be present as well as those participating for the first time. As in 2005, International invitational and Stray Show dealers will be exhibiting under the same roof, offering a diverse and exciting format for all.
