Updates to the Art Map!
Hello out there in TV Land! Glad you’ve come back to see us again, won’t you be my neighbor? Ok, but seriously, we here at Chicago Art Map are working day and night to update and maintain our Art Map and Art Calendar Tools for your enjoyment and benefit. In celebration of 5 months running, we’ve put together this article to let ya’ll know what has been going on behind the scenes. Below you’ll see the original Google map, alongside our beautiful Art Map and Art Calendar Tools, as well as a complete listing of additions to and subtractions from the map since our launch in June 2009. As always, if you aren’t on the map, drop us a line at chicagoartmap@gmail.com and we’ll put you on the map!

This is completely awesome. Christ you’ve worked hard. What’s even more amazing is that you could compile this list. I would have given up, knowing my organizational skills.
So to be nostalgic, the first gallery we had to add was ebersb9 (now ebersmoore). It opened the day after we launched the map.
I put some in bold that I feel pretty confident weren’t just overlooked data, but closings or openings of venues. Crowdsource away on that.
