Openings also take place on Chicago Ave. in <strong>West Town</strong>, as well as in <strong>Pilsen East</strong>. On Saturday you can head to <strong>Michigan Ave </strong>as well as <strong>Ukrainian Village </strong>and back to West Town.</i></p><p><i>In River North, the traditional July happening that was a much loved fixture on the art calendar for many years&nbsp;is back,&nbsp;with the third annual </i><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/river-north-art-district\"><i><strong>Midsummer Art Walk</strong></i></a><i>. Resurrected and reimagined in 2017 by a group of dealers who wanted to reinvent a familiar seasonal&nbsp;energy for a district long associated with art, the event is casual but promises to be a lively evening of mingling in the name of art discovery.</i></p><p><i>Many galleries embrace the spirit of the summer group show, while others are showcasing new work from artists putting on solo shows – some who have not exhibited in years. Both formats invite art collectors and visitors to the city to&nbsp;spend time in&nbsp;multiple districts and&nbsp;explore Chicago's unique visual&nbsp;culture by viewing work created by living artists.&nbsp;</i></p><p><i>Throughout the city galleries have spent time planning this season's bright, largely easy going shows – a final stop before the fall art frenzy opens in early September and continues through the eighth edition of </i><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/organizations/expo-chicago\"><i>EXPO CHICAGO</i></a><i>.</i></p><p><i>Our summary of this weekend's highlights is below.

At an early age, she realized her curiosity and interests were more aligned with the sensibility, formality, and style of dress from the Victorian era. She gravitated to photography as a teenager. With support from her parents, who are both in the arts, she rejected the traditional path of art school and learned the history of art from books, museums and family trips, where she was exposed to the paintings of Vermeer, Botticelli and Rembrandt, whose works have had a lasting effect.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721417939/khiz7mlep175xwngencg.jpg\"><figcaption>Martha Tuttle</figcaption></figure><h3><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/martha-tuttle-the-dance-of-atoms\">Rhona Hoffman Gallery</a></h3><p>Opening Friday, July 12</p><p>• West Town</p><p>The gallery's second exhibition with Martha Tuttle,<i> The Dance of Atoms, </i>takes inspiration from early Greco-Roman understandings of molecular matter. Tuttle’s new textile-based paintings are composed of hand-spun wool and linens dyed with mineral pigments. Hovering between abstraction and materiality, the works explore the notion of relational arrangement, rather than the inherent self or object, as a mode of understanding the physical world.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721417940/ei6ttcaurgqpbnlrne3f.gif\"><figcaption>Daniel Ramos</figcaption></figure><h3><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/the-land-of-illustrious-men-work-by-daniel-ramos\">Filter Photo</a></h3><p>Opening Friday, July 12</p><p>• West Town</p><p><i>The Land of Illustrious Men </i>is a solo exhibition featuring the work of Daniel Ramos, curated by Paul D’Amato.</p><p>Ramos states, “<i>The Land Of Illustrious Men</i> is a story about my family, which began with the migration of my parents to the United States of America. My father entered the US illegally to pursue the American dream, whereas my mother was forced to immigrate to the US by my grandmother in order to live a better life. My parents met at an English language class in Chicago. They never learned the language, but they fell in love, and built a life together. Throughout my entire life in the United States we lived in Pilsen, a Mexican American neighborhood. All the storefronts were in Spanish, everyone spoke Spanish, and everyone lived a working-class life. During the summers, my parents would send me to Mexico to avoid the gang violence in my neighborhood. I spent every summer in Mexico until I was 22 years old.\" Following the death of Ramos's mother and while his wife was pregnant, Ramos and his wife temporarily relocated to his family home in Monterrey, Mexico, when he photographed the people and places who shaped the person that he is now. Ramos graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a BA in Photography in 2003&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721417941/dzigwnqoti6ucolzcvts.gif\"><figcaption>Mau Mau</figcaption></figure><h3><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/mau-mau-solo-show\">Vertical Gallery</a></h3><p>Opening Saturday, July 13</p><p>• Ukrainian Village</p><p><i>Mau Mau: Bombing walls and painting bridges opens </i>Saturday night.
