The ever popular River North Art District is getting set to celebrate it's 1st anniversary, in grand style we might add with a weekend tour that should bring Winter to a halt and art to the forefront! On Friday, January 26th over 40 galleries and art-locations in the district  including + gallery will host evening receptions from 6-9pm and then self guided tours of the district are set for Saturday the 27th from 11am to 4pm. The celebration will conclude that afternoon at 4:30pm with a raffle and iron pour at Ironton Studios. There is a free shuttle available on Saturday, sponsored by the Fire Clay lofts and featuring the most esteemed art-tour guides Phil Bender & Bill Amundson, you would be crazy to miss out on the opportunity to tour with both of these gentlemen. Flying Dog Brewery will also be running their shuttle both Friday and Saturday. Participants in all regards may collect FREE raffle tickets at each location you visit in order to win the famous 'Wall of Wine' and other great prizes including an iPod Shuffle.
