NEXT ART CHICAGO

After a thorough analysis of the art fair landscape, Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc. [MMPI] has determined not to move forward with the production of the 2012 edition of Next Art Chicago.

While Chicago will always remain a cultural tourism destination, is home to a thriving arts community, including galleries, world-class museums, theaters, arts-related organizations, along with thousands of art enthusiasts, it is our conclusion that the great majority of the contemporary art fair market in the United States has gravitated toward the coasts. 

We extend overwhelming gratitude to the City of Chicago, collectors and dealers from around the globe, and the superb cultural institutions of the city that have supported our efforts over the years.
