The Chicago Architecture Center ( CAC ) is extending its 10th annual Open House Chicago festival ( OHC ) through Sunday, Nov. 1.

Attendees have seven more days to follow 25 trails for self-guided exploration through Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs.

In addition, six OHC 2020 online programs initially offered to registered attendees via Zoom will be published and viewable anytime via the CAC's YouTube channel Oct. 26-Nov. 1. These programs include A New Vision for the Kenwood Line, Changing the Narrative: African Americans in Evanston, Get to Know Your House: Rogers Park Edition and Women in Architecture Virtual Tour.

Trail content remains accessible through the extension via the OHC 2020 mobile app for iOS ( Apple ) and Android devices; another dozen festival experiences available through the mobile app include three site-inspired compositions by artists from Access Contemporary Music and YOU BE MY ALLY, a temporary public artwork by Jenny Holzer commissioned by University of Chicago and viewable dawn until dusk through Sunday, Nov. 22.
