Where? Navy Pier’s Festival Hall, 600 E. Grand Avenue

Celebrating its 16th year, SOFA CHICAGO 2009, the critically acclaimed Sculpture Objects & Functional Art Fair, returns to Navy Pier's Festival Hall to present masterworks from top international galleries and dealers.

The Chicago fair will also feature special exhibits by renowned museums, universities and arts organizations, as well an extensive lecture series, all included in the admission price. Debuting this year is SOLO at SOFA, dedicated spaces on the show floor featuring cutting-edge installations by individual artists outside of the more formal structure of the representing gallery's exhibit booth.

SOFA CHICAGO is the longest continuously running art fair in Chicago, debuting at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers in 1994, with 58 exhibitors and 14,000 people attending. In 1995, SOFA CHICAGO moved to Festival Hall at Chicago's historic Navy Pier. Since then, this pioneering fair has grown steadily in the number of exhibitors, averaging approximately 100 galleries and dealers in recent years, and attendance has increased more than 100 percent. A record 35,000 people attended SOFA CHICAGO in 2008 and the fair was marked by brisk sales to museums, art advisors, interior designers and architects as well as both seasoned and new collectors.
