Hang out with Visual Arts Chair Margy Stover and chat "art" with her as she takes you on a guided tour of her fave pieces in the Art Institute of Chicago (includes admission for four and tickets for four to one special exhibit). Alternatively, you choose the works and she'll talk you through some facts about the artist and what was going on in art during that time!
