The School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Fall Undergraduate Exhibition runs November 6–18 at 33 E. Washington Street. The gallery listing gives hours of 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and lists a public reception on Saturday, November 14, from noon to 5 p.m.

Leave time to look closely at a few pieces. Take a second pass through the gallery and notice which work you remember without looking at the labels. If you’re going with a friend, pick one piece each to show the other before you leave.
