Join us in celebration of a summer that is getting back to normal. Come see our new studio and check out some of our latest lines for fall. Get a behind the scenes sneak peek at what we've been up too!

Who: Kimball Arts Center is a hub of Chicago creativity located next to The 606 Trail, where Logan Square meets Humboldt Park. Home to a collection of independent businesses for over 15 years, KAC is always inclusive and always open-minded. The space is open and available to lease.

Ørkenoy is a creative enclave located in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago, operating as a brewery, kitchen and synergetic haunt for local artists. Driven by “unchartered inspiration,” the hybrid venue, anchored within the Kimball Arts Center, is infused with Nordic influences and an eclectic, welcoming ambiance

What/Why: The 2021 Midsummer Block Party is a collaboration between Kimball Arts Center and Ørkenoy to welcome the community and friends into their newly-renovated space. The event will have food, drinks, music, and vendors to celebrate the creative energy surrounding the Kimball Arts Center. The Midsummer Block Party will also serve as an unveiling of the Kimball Arts Center’s new mural and Artist in Residence Program.
