Them Damn Kids @ Schubas
Chicago folk band Them Damn Kids headline Schubas Tavern (3159 N Southport Avenue) tonight as part of the New York Songwriters Circle, a collaborative performance of five distinct artists. Admission ($10) includes a signed, advance copy of their new EP. Show starts at 8pm.
Art Chicago, Artropolis, and NEXT Art Fairs @ Merchandise Mart
This is your last chance to see the biggest annual art fairs in the city. Kazillions of local and not-so-local artists will be on display, both established and emerging -- just about every Chicago gallery has a booth set up at the Merchandise Mart to showcase their artist's work. The show is open from 11am to 4pm today. Tickets range from $15 to $20. Click here for details.
