Art on the move

The el is not just for Santa and his elves anymore. Now you can see art on a CTA train. This Saturday, August 30, you will have the cance to ride the orange line around the loop while viewing a mobile art gallery. An eight car CTA train will be rollin' around the loop from 6pm-10pm carrying art from various galleries and independent artists around town.

Visiting the train will cost you $5, and you can board at the Adams/Wabash stop. There will be staff aboard each train to discuss the art with you, if you lik. De-Railed, the official after-party for Art On Track, will follow at 11pm at The Joynt (650 N Dearborn).

I'm a big geek for the el, and naturally I love art, especially art presented in non-traditional atmospheres. Sadly, I will be unable to attend, as I will be out of town, but if anyone checks it out, I'd love to hear about it and see photos!
