Who We Are

Evening Associates enjoy exclusive museum gatherings, gallery walks, black-tie affairs, and other "after-five" events throughout Chicago, reveling in the city's vibrant art and social scene.

The Evening Associates Board is committed to increasing awareness of art and the resources of the Art Institute by raising funds for audience development programming.

We are currently recruiting for new board members. For more information contact eveningassociates@artic.edu
