Many gallerists in Chicago have recently taken the leap into expanding into much larger spaces, thus investing more resources and scale in Chicago's art ecosystem. Join Torey Gaines, director of Anthony Gallery, in conversation with Mickey Pomfrey, owner of MICKEY, and Abby Pucker, founder of GERTIE and Art in Common (which just launched the exhibition Boil, Toil, Trouble) to discuss why larger sometimes is better when presenting emerging artists to an international audience.
