Arts Club of Chicago, Contemporary art gallery in Downtown Chicago, United States
The Arts Club of Chicago is an art gallery in downtown Chicago that displays rotating exhibitions featuring paintings, sculptures, and photographs by artists from around the world. The work occupies multiple connected spaces showcasing both established and experimental pieces.
The organization was founded in 1916 and moved to its current location on East Ontario Street in 1997. The relocation allowed the space to expand and accommodate a growing collection of contemporary works.
The space draws people interested in engaging with contemporary art through discussions and live performances that happen throughout the year. Visitors experience not just the displayed works but also direct interaction with artists, which shapes how the place functions.
Visitors can explore the galleries Tuesday through Friday mornings and afternoons, and on Saturday mornings, allowing time to walk through multiple exhibition spaces. It helps to check ahead since hours can shift and some areas occasionally close for special events.
The building holds a permanent collection of glass artworks and installations created specifically for its architectural spaces. These pieces form a hidden layer within the gallery that regular visitors often rediscover with each visit.
