Shake off the winter blahs with the bright warm art at one the largest artist studio buildings on Chicago’s North side. On Friday March 21st, from 6 - 10 pm, and on Saturday March 22nd, from 11 am - 3 pm, the Cornelia Arts Building at 1800 West Cornelia Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, opens its doors to the public to meet talented artists and artisans in person, explore their art practices up close, and purchase art and crafts directly from their makers. 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. Located close to public transportation and only two blocks south of the Addison Brown Line CTA stop, the building has a free parking lot and street parking nearby. Events are free and open to the public.
