Mission
Arts and About is a weekly blog of personal reflections on the visual, musical and literary arts primarily in Chicago. Coverage features not only the city’s major arts organizations but also spotlights emerging artists and organizations. News of a national nature appears from time to time when deemed sufficiently significant and relevant to readers and arts organizations locally.

Suggestions for inclusion are welcome. Submit your recommendation to the editor along with the reason you believe it is worthy of coverage and include contact information.
