The Black Cloud Gallery is a 1300 square foot loft space in the heart of the Chicago Arts District, right in the middle of the main drag on South Halsted Street. Each artist is showcased on approximately 150 square feet of ample wall space, complete with great street viewing provided by large storefront windows. We get great walking traffic during public events like Second Fridays and the Annual Open House art crawl. The architecture of the gallery compliments the aesthetic of the work quite well with beautiful hardwood flooring and high ceilings.

Complete with ample lighting and the capacity to exhibit up to six artists comfortably – along with a beautiful back garden patio – the gallery space is very warm and inviting and makes the artist's work quite accessible, creating a very pleasant environment.


Rent the Black Cloud Gallery for your own private event. In addition to art openings and exhibitions, the gallery is used for other special events such as:

   • Street Art and Urban Art Exhibits
   • Corporate Events

   • Film/photo Shoots
   • Runway and Fashion Shows
   • Charity Functions and Fund Raisers
   • Poetry Slams and Comedy Showcases
   • Musical Performances

We have a small stage and plenty of lighting for music showcases and other performances, and also have connections to area caterers if you need a recommendation for your special gala.
