The 2026 Chicago Art Fair at the Merchandise Mart

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know that I miss the way things were pre-pandemic. One thing I especially miss is the fall art shows I once looked forward to attending. So I was excited to visit the first Chicago Art Fair. It was small, relatively speaking, but I think it got off to a good start. Here are some of my favorite artists from the show.

Karen L. Kirshner

Peppy Colours

Mark Liam Smith

Alexandria Mooney Jones

Fernando DaSilva


Kate Vogel and John Littleton


J Ruel Martin

Mitchell Craig

Andréa Stanislav

Michel Mirabal


I enjoyed the show and hope that it will return next year and become a fixture of the fall art show schedule like SOFA used to be. This was also my introduction to the work that Black Figure Bureau is doing and I was very intrigued and impressed. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see so much incredible work by talented artists.
