EXPO CHICAGO RETURNS TO NAVY
PIER WITH A DEFINED CURATORIAL VISION
Expo Chicago will return to Navy Pier this April, running April 9–12 at Festival Hall. The 13th edition of the fair will feature more than 130 galleries from around the world. But this year’s edition, under new leadership, places particular emphasis on discovery, curatorial depth, and a clearer overall framework. Organizers have pointed to a more focused approach, aiming to make the environment more deliberate, more coherent, and easier to move through.
EXPO has long brought an international audience to the city, but this year’s edition also appears especially attuned to its local and regional context. Chicago galleries including GRAY, Corbett vs. Dempsey, moniquemeloche, PATRON, DOCUMENT, and Andrew Rafacz are part of the 2026 roster, reinforcing the fair’s connection to the city’s contemporary art scene.
The clearest sign of what makes this year different may be in the programming. EXPO Chicago is expanding its partnership with the Obama Presidential Center, with Dr. Louise Bernard, Founding Director of the Obama Presidential Center Museum, curating Embodiment and Evolution, two initiatives that offer an early look at artists, themes, and material culture connected to the institution ahead of its June opening. Other curated sections include Focus, curated by Katie A. Pfohl of the Detroit Institute of Arts, which will explore landscape, migration, and practices of craft and care. Profile, curated by Essence Harden, will spotlight solo presentations and tightly conceived projects from established galleries.
Taken together, for visitors interested in contemporary art, design, and the city’s cultural momentum, Expo Chicago remains one of April’s strongest cultural draws at Navy Pier.

I had a fantastic experience working with Lonzetta Mckennie! She made the process of renting out my property seamless and stress-free. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and prompt communication were top-notch. She took care of everything, from listing the property to vetting potential tenants, ensuring that the whole process was efficient.

Lonzetta is awesome and definitely knows her stuff well. She’s helped our family with the search of a building as well as rental property. She was always on time and put in the extra work to make sure we got what we were looking for. Through all of this we definitely found a good friend in Mrs. Mckennie-Henderson. Thank you again for all your help. I definitely look forward to working with you again

GET TO KNOW ME
A home is not a home because of its room dimensions or the color of the walls…it is about how you feel when you walk through the front door, and the way you can instantly envision your life unfolding there. I understand that buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction: it’s a lifechanging experience.
My business philosophy is simple: clients come first. I stay in communication with my clients, keeping them fully informed throughout the entire buying or selling process. I believe that if you’re not left with an amazing experience, I haven’t done my job. I don’t measure success through achievements or awards, but through the satisfaction of my clients, and I practice real estate with the utmost honesty, integrity and straight talk.
Agricultural Zoning! Building Site!
Looking for an Agricultural zoned building lot in McLean County? Extremely unique opportunity for a chance to build a new home. There is an uninhabitable modular home currently on the property which would need to be removed, but offers a very nice building site on a rise on excellent road only a few miles from Olympia Junior and Senior High Schools. The middle fork of Sugar Creek cuts through the property offering wildlife habitat and tremendous view. The tillable ground is estimated at approximately 30 acres and is primarily bottom ground with Productivity indexes ranging in the 139-140 range which is top notch class A soils. This would be prime property for the Homesteader Life many seek with opportunities for raising some crops and livestock or possibly developing an Agritourism business. Additionally, there is an existing drilled well and existing septic system both done in 1998 on property that are being included “as-is”, but could be adaptable to a new home on the property. Pole type building on the property may be salvageable with some repairs. Property is part of a larger tract that is being separated off and will be surveyed to approximately 40.25 acres. This is an extremely challenging type of property to find this close to Bloomington-Normal and would make for an excellent private Estate or getaway retreat.
