The\u00a0Chicago Loop Alliance<\/a> is bringing back ACTIVATE, a series of events that transform largely overlooked alleys in the Loop into pop-up exhibition spaces, bringing artists and the public together to celebrate the arts for the summer. These events will be filled with live performances, music and so much more \u2013 in addition to some pretty wild exhibits. The Chicago Loop Alliance\u2019s mission is to attract investment to the Loop by promoting popular urban experiences.<\/p>\n

The first event will take place on June 7th, from 5pm-10pm with additional parties happening on July 12th, August 16th, and September 13th.<\/p>\n

The 2018 ACTIVATE theme is (EVO)loution, which refers to EVO, a fictional\u00a0muse representing the Chicago’s\u00a0arts and culture. According to the release, EVO “is able to open portals to parallel universes, so each ACTIVATE event will see a location in the Loop transformed, with attendees transported to an alternate version of the same space.” Awesome.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in the event, you can RSVP in advance here<\/a>\u00a0and receive a ticket for a complimentary drink.<\/p>\n

Oh, and we forgot the best part \u2013 entry is totally free.<\/p>\n
