Visit two full-floors of over two dozen working art studios open for this event.

Over 100 artists and artisans work in the building, including painters, sculptors, photographers, ceramic artists, print-makers, jewelers, designers, and much more. For the March Open House, the front lobby showcases “Figuring It Out“ a group show of figurative artwork. The event also presents a group show of landscape artwork by the “Urban Sketching” group.

With one-of-a-kind artwork and special artisan-made gifts by the building artists, the event offers something for the whole family to enjoy.

The art center was established in 1986 in a former ice-house, and has fostered creativity in Chicago ever since. The Cornelia Arts Building is located at 1800 West Cornelia, at the border of three distinct Chicago Neighborhoods; Roscoe Village, Lakeview, and North Center.
