The Chicago Art Parade: Call for Participants The second annual Chicago Art Parade will be taking over Chicago's West Loop on Saturday May 1st at 2pm.  An amazing line-up has been formed that includes marching bands, fashionistas, dancers, fluxus folks, a bar on wheels, and artists.  We still want to include your most creative ideas in this year's parade.  Show your most radical freaked out idea- a float, a group of costumed friends, create a performance, amaze Chicago with your take on a parade. Send your idea to chicagoartparade@gmail.com and check out chicagoartparade.com for more info and pics from last year.
