The Conservation Center is excited to return to EXPO CHICAGO as an official sponsor and the exclusive conservator and framer for our 11th year. EXPO CHICAGO returns to Navy Pier April 11–14 for its eleventh edition, featuring 170 of the world's most prominent galleries from 75 cities and 29 countries, including The Center's educational booth #174. Celebrating the work of over 3,000 artists, the International Exposition of Contemporary & Modern Art offers a week of diverse and dynamic programming you won't want to miss. Attendees are welcome to visit us at our booth where we are privileged once again this year to exhibit work by renowned Chicago-based contemporary artist Kerry James Marshall.
EXPO CHICAGO showcases leading contemporary and modern art galleries each April at Navy Pier’s Festival Hall, alongside a diverse and inventive program of talks, on-site installations, and public art initiatives. Inaugurated in 2012, EXPO CHICAGO draws upon the city’s rich history as a vibrant international cultural destination, while highlighting the region’s contemporary arts community. In 2023, EXPO CHICAGO was acquired by Frieze, the world’s leading platform for modern and contemporary art.
