Getting Around the Largest Gallery Opening Night of the Year

Chicago's fall art gallery season has arrived--And this year, September 11 is kind of a big deal as dozens of new shows and exhibitions are launching.

On this highly anticipated opening day, ART Chicago and Chicago Gallery News have garnered a trolley service, free to the public, to take visitors around galleries in River North, Streeterville, River East and the East and West Loop.

Compiled with Chicago Gallery News' gallery listings and their September 11th schedule, here is a map of the day's openings with their adjacent trolley stops to help ease transit tension.

Also: Don't forget to share the photos you take of the galleries you visit in our A/C Flickr pool.

Hey- I'm new to the area and hoping to hit up the openings by W Superior St- anyone have suggestions of good cheap food near there?

Carmen, if you're up for Indian/Pakistani, Baba Palace at Chicago and Orleans is cheap and relatively tasty. Panang at Chicago and Clark is another good cheap option.

Great- thanks for the suggestions!
