    Take a look inside some of Chicago's most famous buildings during Open House Chicago (OHC) Weekend! If you have never attended an OHC event before, this is a rare opportunity to explore some hidden gems that are typically not available to the public. All are welcome to attend.


    How it works: register for the event if you would like to attend OHC with us on Saturday, October 17th; we will contact registrants to suggest ideas for our tour; shortly before the event, we will send out an itinerary with an exact meeting location. Depending on interest, we can include a lunch stop, or adjust the start and end time.


    You can read more about OHC and look for ideas here.

    Join us for our keystone event of the year, the Annual Dinner! We will share updates about the association and our scholarship winner, vote for next year's executive board members, recognize our hardworking volunteers, and present the Distinguished Service Award to Carlos Tortolero, founder of the National Museum of Mexican Art. This is a great opportunity to meet and mingle with fellow Keyholders as we celebrate our accomplishments of the past year.
