March is certainly coming in like a lion with a king’s share of events (see what I did there? Somehow I feel the need to apologize to Nathan Lane and Nathan Lane only. Anyhow). While some of our venues are slowly opening up, there are still some online shows that deserve your attention. Be safe out there whatever you choose to do and please don’t pop a capillary if you need to be reminded to wear a mask. Just wear the thing. There are so many other things to bitch about in this world (people who don’t pick up their garbage off the street, terrible parallel parking jobs that take up too much space, why did they cancel Mannix, etc.) but a new accessory that accentuates your general health shouldn’t be one of them.
- One possibility for those looking to get out and see something other than the walls of our living rooms, but do so without worrying about crowds: go see some art! Galleries that are open for in-person viewing are subject to capacity limits, and many galleries are doing ticketed entry or requiring an appointment, to help keep track of the numbers. A few options to consider: West Town’s Western Exhibitions, the South Side Community Art Center in Bronzeville, or Jean Albano in River North.
