Artists - want to get your work seen by the masses? Whether you're an established professional, an emerging outsider or a struggling student, submit your stuff to the Chicago Art Open Exhibition. The deadline for submissions is Friday, January 29, and the exhibition runs April 21-May 8 at the River East Art Center (435 E. Illinois).

While the show is open to most, there are some stipulations -- you've gotta be at least 18 and live or work in the greater Chicago area. For all the rules, and to enter, go to the website.
