For gay travelers staying in those CBD hotels, there’s one gay bar, Second Story, in the Magnificent Mile area, directly across the river from The Loop.

The second gayborhood of Chicago is called Andersonville.

With this popularity, the VVAG was invited to bring its collection to other cities as a traveling exhibition.Each time the exhibition was shown in a new city, additional artists were found and the collection grew. It’s in the suburb of Northalsted, and there are 11 gay venues in a small area, making for excellent bar hopping.

Near these vibrant spots, a few hotels serve as perfect gay hotel Chicago options, some close enough to stumble home after a fun night out.

It’s conveniently located next to Boystown.

The museum opened its doors on November 11, 2012 at its current home at 4041 North Milwaukee Ave, Chicago’s historic Six Corners neighborhood.This new location could not permit the installation of the Above and Beyond exhibition which is on loan to the Chicago Public Library and houses the 58,307 dog tags on the third floor of the Harold Washington Library Center.The initial VVAG collection of over 700 works of art created by veteran artists from the Vietnam War now has a permanent collection of more than 2,000 works from artists that have served in WWII, Korea, the Gulf War and the Global War on Terror.

The VVAG’s original founding members included Sondra Varco, Rick Aztlan, Joe Fornelli, Ned Broderick and Richard Hackett with later contributions from Mike Helbing, Jim Moore, Neal Pollack and many more.At the time, traditional galleries and museums were unwilling to exhibit art about the Vietnam War that was considered controversial.

National Veterans Art Museum

The National Veterans Art Museum (NVAM) was officially established on Oct 12, 1986.

It’s north of the city, around 3 miles from Boystown.

After the positive public reception of the first exhibition, the City of Chicago under the administration of Mayor Richard M. Daley, donated a warehouse to NVAM which became the initial home of the museum and its growing collection.NVAM sold the original building back to the City in the spring of 2012. However, the VVAG worked with a local gallery space to host a temporary exhibit.

The artists live across the United States as well as Australia, Cambodia, Hungary, Thailand, North and South Vietnam.In addition to paintings, drawings, photography and sculpture, the museum connects works of literature from writers who served in the military like Kurt Vonnegut and Tim O’Brien to interactive exhibitions where visitors are encouraged to engage with the ideas and concepts that they learn about.The artwork that makes up NVAM’s permanent collection has now been exhibited in 15 states at 54 individual shows and several overseas exhibitions with a broad appeal of visitors ranging from 31 countries and 46 states and continues to grow.

In fact, it was the first officially recognized gay village in the United States. This included its keystone installation, Above and Beyond, the only art work outside of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C.,l that represented all the lives the US lost. The Art Institute is situated next to Millenium Park.
