Chicago Exhibition Weekend
Digital platform, strategy, mapping, and CRM for a citywide festival, spotlighting Chicago's galleries and cultural spaces.
Chicago Exhibition Weekend is an annual, citywide program, convening galleries, museums, and creative spaces across Chicago. From 2023-2025, I led digital production for CXW, designing and maintaining a CMS-driven platform that powers event listings and an interactive city map, giving organizers and visitors a clear, real-time view of hundreds of happenings around the city.
