The diversity of medium and styles throughout the fair is apparent, but some galleries really stand out this year, presenting artwork that is timely to our current political climate, or offering simply beautiful works that catch the eye. Here are just a handful of galleries that truly shined at the preview and should not be missed this weekend.

Playing on the beach? Been there, snapped that. Monkeying around at the playground? Yep, took that pic a billion times. If you need fresh photo ideas — and some new fodder for your Instagram feed — get a change of scenery and check out Chicago’s awesome street art.

The bright, airy center includes 2,800 square feet of gallery space and 1,700 square feet of educational space.
