Chicago’s gallery scene is a year-round attraction for both local and out-of-town art lovers. But just as the temperatures cool down each autumn, the city’s art festival season starts to heat up, giving aficionados even more opportunities to soak up the creativity of the world’s leading artists.

The frenzy starts in earnest later this week, as the inaugural Expo Chicago opens Thu., Sep. 20, on Navy Pier (600 E. Grand). This four-day international event (September 20–23) promises modern and contemporary works from hundreds of the world’s foremost artists and designers, including galleries from New York, London, Toronto, and Paris. The exhibition space will be designed by Chicago architecture firm Studio Gang, led by architect Jeanne Gang, and will feature several large-scale installations and site-specific works. The itinerary also includes panel discussions with top names in modern design—on Sep. 20, for instance, New York magazine senior critic Jerry Saltz gives a talk at 10:30am. Expo runs Thu.–Sat., 11am–7pm, and Sun., 12–6pm. One-day tickets are $20.--Mark Loehrke
