According to its natives, transplants, and returning travelers, the Windy City is a mecca of hard work, outsider ideas, and OGs.

Ahead of EXPO CHICAGO—the annual, international art fair held in the city—CULTURED speaks to four collectors—Megan Green Rogers and Joshua D. Rogers, Easy Otabor, and Abby Pucker—championing local artists while molding their market.
