About me:
www.chicagoartsdistrict.org
The history of the Chicago Arts District reaches back to the early 1960s when John and Annelies Podmajersky started to revitalize the Pilsen East neighborhood with innovative urban planning. They converted dilapidated residential and commercial buildings into artists' lofts & studios and transformed disused alleyways into lush gardens. These distinctive spaces and exceptional environments have provided inspiration to the thousands of artists who have lived and worked here over the past four decades.
The Chicago Arts District now encompasses several contiguous blocks of live and work space for artists, galleries and other creative retailers, and exhibition space for special events and performances.
As the area's events and activities continued to grow, the Podmajersky family established the Chicago Arts District organization to assist with strategic development and provide overall support to the numerous creative individuals and businesses in the neighborhood. The small staff, under the direction of Cynthia West, provides administrative and marketing support to neighborhood artists and galleries. Julie Anna Welcher, the Chicago Arts District's Marketing and Program Administrator, assists the artists and galleries with marketing and promotion by developing and updating the CAD web site, assisting with press relations,marketing the neighborhood as a cultural destination, and coordinating programs and events for the Chicago Arts District.
The Chicago Arts District hosts monthly 2nd FRIDAYS Gallery Night events, a Spring Gallery Night Event in conjunction with ARTropolis, and the Annual PilsenEast Artist's Open House, as well as other events throughout the year.
The Annual PilsenEast Artists' Open House is the neighborhood's most recognizable and anticipated event. It began in 1970 when a small group of neighborhood artists opened their studio doors and invited friends and family to view art in a intimate atmosphere. The event proved to be a great success and has attracted visitors year after year to explore the studios and gardens and to experience art at its source. It is the longest running Artist's Open House in the city of Chicago and is currently in its 38th Year!

Everyone!!! The Chicago Arts District welcomes everyone to visit this vibrant art community! Our Gallery Night events and Artist's Open House are held in a welcoming environment where visitors not only get an evening filled with more than 30 galleries brimming with art, but also access to artists and gallery owners who love to talk about their work. This gives visitors a chance to understand the works in a new way. No other gallery district offers an experience quite like this!
