This annual program, coordinated by the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs, points to the year-round variety of local artistic activity by framing a month’s worth of events. The Chicago Art Open, presented by the Chicago Artists’ Coalition (which originated Artists’ Month in 1996), runs Mon 10/10-Mon 10/24, on the third floor of 847 W. Jackson (11 AM-5 PM daily, 312-670-2060). Most other exhibits noted in this year’s brochure are listed by venue under Galleries, here or at www.chicagoreader.com. For a full schedule, see chicagoartistsmonth.org or call 312-744-6630. Among this week’s highlights:
