With the new year well under way now, our regular WPB Weekend Arts Guide is back! Get the scoop on everything going on in the arts across Wicker Park and Bucktown as we make our way into 2021...

Please note that the current situation has a lot of businesses adapting quickly. Hours listed here may not be exact and are subject to change at any moment. Please check in with a business before visiting in person and be patient and understanding if hours differ from those here or a space has elected to change their reopening strategy.

Be sure to always wear a mask in public, in businesses, and while on public ways with others. Wash your hands frequently and remain properly distanced. Always respect a business' customer limit, health practices, and hygiene requirements.

We also suggest visiting the ARTS FOR ILLINOIS website!
