Paint Out

This is a fun day for iconic buildings and people.  The Chicago Theater offers an iconic marquee, and the Marshall Field's clock is a block away. Challenge yourself with el tracks on Wabash.  Use Spot Hero for parking.  

A good meeting spot is St. Mary of the Angels church, at the corner of N. Wood St. And W. Cortland St., where there is generally easy street parking. Explore Damen Avenue for storefronts and restaurants. The 606 elevated walkway is nearby.

Montrose Harbor is located on the northern edge of Lincoln Park, a short walk from Montrose Beach. With a great neighborhood feel, Montrose offers outstanding northern views of the skyline, a strong dinghy fleet, and friendly boaters that call the harbor home. We will meet at the south end of the harbor.

The conservatory is a painting challenge! The gardens are beautiful and the fountain is a treat! If the conservatory area is not your thing, the zoo is right next door and the Shakespeare Garden is across the street. Restrooms in the conservatory and zoo; street parking but difficult. Zoo offers paid parking.

We will be meeting on the riverfront at Michigan and Wacker near O’Brien’s Restaurant. It’s a wonderful river view, full of boats, people, and many Chicago buildings and cafes. There’s also a beautiful view of the Wrigley Building. There are public bathrooms along the riverwalk.
