About this space

We are located in the Wicker Park area of Chicago.

With almost 5000 square feet of space we can accommodate most studio and gallery needs.

The space was designed to have a very neutral yet versatile feel.
I wanted to enable artists a chance to reuse the space several times, without looking like your at the same place each time you rent.

Every way you look or turn in this space is a new location.
