There's also www.onthemake.org  --------lists all the openings & what's going on in Chicago

Excellent List of Art Openings/Goings On

The Gallery Crawl And So Much More
is a great blog run by Stephanie Burke.  She received her MFA in photo from SAIC about a year ago.  She runs this blog in her spare time and usually compiles pretty comprehensive lists of events from week to week.  Odds are that you'll see her at many of the events she's got listed.  If you see her, don't be a stranger.  Tell her how awesome/helpful her blog is and go from there.  She's insanely smart and funny and knows truckloads about art.  I've added her as one of the blogs we're watching so you can see when she's posted updates and check them out.

Register your email address and become a Contributor

Just figured out how to make this a "team blog."  This just means that these steps have to be followed:

"Team blogs are quite useful when small groups of people wish to contribute to a single blog. Basically, one person initially creates the blog, then adds other people to it as members.
Team members can either be administrators or not. Administrators can edit all posts (not just their own), add and remove team members (and grant admin access), and modify the blog's settings and template. Non-admins can only create and edit their own posts.
Here's how to add members to your blog:

First, go to Settings | Permissions:
 Settings | Permissions Then click Add Authors:
Add Authors Next, type the email addresses of the people you're inviting to the blog, separating each address with a comma. They'll receive an email with a confirmation link soon. Note that they must have Google Accounts, and if they don't already, they'll be prompted to create one.
Add User When you're ready to send the invitations, click Invite."
