Featuring the work of acclaimed artists and emerging talent, the gallery space will open to the public in fall 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">Located at the corner of Washington and Wabash, the four-story, 62,000-square-foot space offers 26,000 square feet of public galleries, 60 individual studios for SAIC\u2019s graduate students, three critique spaces, offices, and a student lounge and work area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">As the public arm of SAIC\u2019s Department of Exhibitions and Exhibition Studies, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago Galleries will feature cutting-edge, thought-provoking contemporary art. The galleries will seek to generate new research around issues, ideas, and professional practices in art and design while stimulating dialogue among the wider Chicago arts community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is so much happening at SAIC\u2019s galleries\u2014from showcasing the work of our global student body to housing provocative exhibitions featuring leading artists from around the world like Yoko Ono and SAIC alums Jeff Koons and Rashid Johnson\u2014and I am so excited that we can bring these artists closer to Chicago\u2019s residents and visitors through our new, street-level space at 33 East Washington Street,\u201d said SAIC President Elissa Tenny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">The opening of the galleries and studios at 33 East Washington Street marks a step forward in SAIC\u2019s commitment to sustainability. The space features energy-efficient lighting, a brand-new ventilation system, recycled carpet, and resurfaced flooring from the building\u2019s original 106-year-old floor. On January 1, the School announced that the campus achieved its goal of becoming carbon-neutral, a goal that was set in 2008 after joining the Second Nature Carbon Commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">More details on the space will be shared throughout the spring and summer.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAIC announced that the School will bring together students, faculty, staff, and the public in a newly renovated street-level space in the heart of Chicago\u2019s Loop.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[14,15,21,43,59,57],"class_list":["post-5131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-loop-news","tag-cultural-institutions","tag-family-friendly","tag-free","tag-landmarks","tag-shop","tag-things-to-do"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
