The first weekend of November brings 2 fantastic events to Chicagoland for those of us who are lovers of all things modern.
The SOFA (Sculpture, Objects and Functional Art) 2008 Fair comes to Navy Pier Nov. 7-9. This is the 15th year for this comprehensive show of contemporary art from the Chicago area and all around the world.
