Spring into Art at the Cornelia Arts Building May 2024 Open Studios
See two full-floors of working art studios at one of the largest artist studio buildings on Chicago’s North side. On Friday May 10th, from 6 – 10 pm, and on Saturday May 11th, from 11 am – 3 pm, the Cornelia Arts Building at 1800 West Cornelia Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, opens its doors to the public to meet many of the talented artists and artisans in person, explore their art practices up close, and purchase art and crafts directly from their makers.
Currently over 90 local artists and artisans work here, including painters, sculptors, photographers, ceramic artists, print-makers, jewelers, designers, and much more. The juried front lobby guest artist is Lucia Nieto, sharing intensely detailed patterned drawings with a unique vision. With one-of-a-kind artwork and special artisan-made gifts by the building artists, the May Open House offers something for the whole family to enjoy.
Building on four decades of fostering creativity, the venue completes a multi-year remodeling effort, with more than double the studios and artists, and more art than ever before. Established in 1986 in a former ice-house, 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.
