Art-lovers of all kinds, your favorite Chicago weekend is approaching—EXPO CHICAGO, The International Exposition of Contemporary and Modern Art, is coming to Navy Pier’s Festival Hall September 27-30. The EXPO hosts more than 135 leading international exhibitors, kicking off with an opening-night benefit and preview of EXPO CHICAGO hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Chicago’s Women’s Board. It will be a whole weekend of culture of all kinds…including some of the city’s best food!
In its seventh year as a leading international art exposition, EXPO CHICAGO offers strong, diverse programming, including dialogues in partnership with the School of the Art Institute Chicago. It is a celebration of worldwide art, exploration, and conversation, and we are so excited to be partnering with them for another year!

In addition to art and culture, EXPO CHICAGO also works with a variety of on-site partners to provide premium dining experiences at the exposition. This year, guests in their VIP Collectors Lounge can enjoy a specialty menu by Eataly and enjoy Ruinart Champagne, the official champagne of EXPO CHICAGO for the seventh consecutive year. For the first time this year though, Ruinart Champagne will serve Ruinart Blanc de Blancs and Ruinart Rosé at a dedicated bar on the exposition floor, as well as exhibiting artwork from their latest collaboration with Chinese artist Liu Bolin.
Eataly, Chicago’s vibrant Italian marketplace, will offer housemade Italian specialties on the main floor of the exposition, as well as in the VIP Collectors Lounge. Other on-site dining partners include Hannah’s Bretzel, who will offer guests European inspired sandwiches, salad, soup, and housemade desserts. Other beverage sponsors include Boxed Water, Belvedere Vodka, Pipeworks Brewing, and Terrazas de los Andes, which will all be available throughout the exposition. Pipeworks is also creating a limited edition EXPO CHICAGO branded bottle. Get ready to drink up!
