The Cornelia Arts Building May Open House takes place Friday, May 21, from 6 to 10 pm at 1800 W. Cornelia Avenue. Two floors of art, open studios, a special hallway exhibit and guest artists!

Featuring the artwork of over 35 artists and artisans in their own working studios. This May, our Open House features the special exhibit, “Urbs in Horto” – local artists inspired by Chicago, the City in a Garden. A self-curated hallway exhibit showcases artwork by resident CAB artists who have created work using the City of Chicago’s official Latin motto; “Urbs In Horto” or City in a Garden as their thematic inspiration. “Urbs in Horto” will be on view in the first floor hallway through the weekend and by appointment in May.

If you can’t make the Friday night open house, don’t worry – a limited number of artists will also be open Saturday May 22, from 11 am to 3 pm for the “Second Chance Open House”!
