Chicago moved into Phase 4 just in time for Fourth of July weekend, so our latest WPB Weekend Arts Guide include several spaces that have reopened within the past week along with those that have been reopening, those who are still virtual only, and the spaces that are still closed but actively fundraising. So take in the local arts this weekend while you enjoy summertime Chicago!

Please note that many places will be closed Saturday, July 4th and potentially the whole weekend. Additionally, the current situation has a lot of businesses adapting quickly. Hours listed here may not be exact and are subject to change at any moment. Please check in with a business before visiting in person and be patient and understanding if hours differ from those here or a space has elected to change their reopening strategy. And be sure to always wear a mask in public, in businesses, and while on public ways with others. Wash your hands frequently and remain properly distanced. Always respect a business' customer limit, health practices, and hygiene requirements. 

We also suggest visiting the ARTS FOR ILLINOIS website!
