Art on Track, Chicago's Train-Based Gallery, Returns in August

Speaking of things to check out this summer, if you’re here in Chicago on Saturday, August 7th, you really have no other options than to cancel your plans and check out Art on Track. For the third year in a row, the non-profit group SALVO has gotten the city to lend it one eight-car CTA train for the day in which artists will install site-specific work. Visitors will pay the standard CTA fee for a tradition train ride and hop on to see the exhibits in each car as the mobile gallery circles downtown (four stops along the route will allow everyone to swap cars to see at least half of the eight cars — you’ll have to go around twice if you want to see them all, but we figure you’ve probably done that math already).
