It is also a season of activism and advocacy. Why? Probably because it&#8217;s way easier to go out and about, so we all feel the urgency to make our voices heard. Either way, July is a great month to find comfort, validation, and inspiration in art. So, we&#8217;ve chosen 12 art exhibitions in Chicago this July for you to visit.
