PALETTE AND CHISEL
Read moreMore than a century ago, students at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago who wanted to paint nudes opened Palette and Chisel, a gallery in the Gold Coast. Seen with a negative eye at the time, it is now the only art gallery in Chicago where experienced artists and students can use male and female models as models. Of course, you have to show a particular interest in the art of the nude, not everyone can enter the studio. If you are an artist, you too can test your talents at the Palette and Chisel.

Today, the museum also houses works by veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
