Hello Jay. We certainly appreciate being updated on the changes for this show. We don't always find out until an art patron can't find the show as listed. So, thanks for helping us keep our calendar as correct as possible.

Hi all,
I wanted to make sure that everyone knows Ravenswood Remix is now called Remix Chicago. Our event will take place 8/31-9/1 but we are now located on Milwaukee Ave. between Fullerton and California, in the Logan Square neighborhood.
