Gallery 2

Gallery 2, located at 847 West Jackson Boulevard, is an off-campus, school-run exhibition site, located in Chicago's historic Greek Town, just half a mile west of the Loop area. Gallery 2 offers extensive programming in all of the visual arts and focuses on the innovative and experimental work of School of the Art Institute of Chicago students and faculty. Gallery 2 features exhibitions, performances, film and video screenings, sound presentations and site-specific installations. Gallery 2 strongly supports the exhibition of student work as an integral component of a fine arts curriculum. Exhibitions and time arts programming provide students with a forum in which the development and exchange of ideas is possible. In preparing works for exhibition, students learn to refine, clarify, and select work for presentation. These skills, which are vital to the creative process, are essential if students are to succeed in the highly competitive art world. The Graduate and Undergraduate Exhibitions office is also located at Gallery 2. Gallery 2 is a member of the West Loop Gate Arts Council. For more information call 312.563-5162.

Gallery 2 is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am to 6 pm. Admission is free.

Gallery 2 Staff:
Meg Duguid, Christine Haynes and John Wanzel.
