Chicago’s Neighbors and Barely fairs show the strengths of smaller, alternative formats

Chicago’s art week is being defined by the success of alternative, small-scale satellite fairs like Barely Fair and Neighbors, which offer an intimate counterpoint to the massive Expo Chicago. Barely Fair, located in a storefront in McKinley Park, features 32 exhibitors presenting works in 20-inch-square miniature booths. This format encourages rigorous curation and creative risk-taking from a mix of artist-run spaces and established galleries, with price points ranging from $20 to $8,000.
