EXPO CHICAGO 2026

EXPO CHICAGO is one of the most popular fine art trade shows that takes place annually in Chicagoland. In recent news, EXPO has announced the first details of their 2026 show which will take place at historic Navy Pier from April 9-12. Per usual there is an impressive number of galleries, both domestic and international, that will be participating.

EXPO will be continuing their collaboration with GAoK (the Galleries Association of Korea). There will be 12 leading Korean galleries presented at the fair, building off of the alliance between Kiaf SEOUL and Frieze Seoul.

EXPO will also be working directly with the forthcoming Obama Presidential Center which has been building buzz for their opening this year. Featured exhibition Embodiment is curated by the Director of the Obama Presidential Center Museum, Dr. Louise Bernard, and will be greatly influenced by the architecture of the Presidential Center and the artists who have been commissioned to be involved with the center.
