Join us for the opening reception of Gallery 400’s Fall exhibition. For Each Other highlights the ways a group of Chicago-based artists and collectives consider care in their work and in the contexts they create for their work. In the included artworks and projects care is an active, participatory process.

For Each Other is on view until December 17. Accompanying the exhibition will be suite of programs co-created with artists in the exhibition, colleague UIC organizations, and UIC student groups. Program announcements coming soon.
