Chicago Artists Coalition celebrated the city’s creative class with a festive fête in the West Loop. Following a VIP reception at Cac—which boasted, among other pieces, an audience-wowing installation by visual artist Andrew Barco— guests headed to the evening’s main event at Venue One for an evening of small plates, spirits, and plenty of dancing to the tunes of DJ Michael Slaboch and DJ Elliot Bergman.
