Wow - so much to do this weekend, so little time. We kicked off the festivities early last night with the opening party for Dream Rooms at the Merchandise Mart, then ran up to the 8th floor to quickly check out the Artist Project and hopped a cab to DWR North Ave. for the M+D+F competition reception. It was a busy intro to what is shaping up to be a very busy weekend. Take a look at all the possibilites:

• Art Chicago
• NEXT
• The Artist Project
• The Intuit Show
• Merchandise Mart International Antiques Fair
• Dream Rooms
• Chicago Modernism Show & Sale
• DEPART-ment
• Arik Levy at Wright

It's a marathon but we plan to try and squeeze in as much of it as we can in our two days off - how about you? Which events are you planning on making it to this weekend?
