“I attended the event they hold every third Friday in the evenings for an art walk where you get to meet a variety of artists who rent space there. There was also a low rider car show in the back lot, which was amazing. I absolutely recommend spending a Friday evening this way.”
“This is one of my new favorite places in the city. I came for a venue tour for work and was greeted by Marcy who was able to answer all of my questions. She told me about Third Fridays where it’s open studio in the evenings and they have special gallery openings and other events. It was really cool to see their private spaces available for rent and learn about their event and wedding packages. The Obama room is my favorite. It’s so cool to come during the week and walk around to see artists working in their studios. I love that they’re very community oriented and want to have an accessible place for local artists to work and sell art. I highly recommend it for date nights and for local artists shopping!”
“Beautiful place to go and view some amazing art pieces.”
“Always a great experience at Zhou B, especially at “Third Thursdays” events. I attended because one of my son’s friend was part of an exhibition. We came to support and discovered other amazing artists.”
“What a delight to discover this space. Large, open and well-curated. In addition to the magnificent permant installations that make up the Gallery it is also an impressive event space. I saw "Glory! Glory!"👍🙌👍. Be sure to check out the basement as well for displays by other up-and-coming artists. Next time I go back I will want to explore the entire building more, where I understand there are Studios and shops. Just a heads up, the entrance can be pretty challenging to find. There appears to be a main door up the street that is probably open when events are held there but if you are just going to the gallery you need to go all the way around the building. First you will see steps and a loading dock. Keep going. Just passed them is a ramp that leads up to the doorway both for the gallery and the rest of the building”
“They hosted the 1st Black Art show in Chicago. The event was 3 days but I only made it Sunday. The staff was very pleasant and the Art was phenomenal. I will be attending again next year! Shout to @BlkChicago for bringing Awareness to this event. Loved 😍 it..”
“Artist dream! First floor gallery of the Zhou brothers amazing work , coffee shop and book store. Explored the 2nd floor Hispanic heritage art show with Sergio Gomez and the 3rd and 4th floors are artist studios.”
“What an experience. Attended an event an art event here and it was spacious. Multiple levels able to hold hundreds of people. The art on display was cultural and beautiful. Great location with a lot of small businesses on streets around it. Would recommend coming to see what's on display.”
“This place is vast and beautiful with areas of exposed brick purchased for the purpose of bringing the community together around Asian American events and the broader community. It’s really a great place with art and so many rooms with ambiance and class. I wish I lived here! All kidding aside there is so much potential to hold major events. Obama was here among many others. Huge parking lot. Gala events can be held here.”
