Map

Join us for our next open studios weekend. The Cornelia Arts Building has been active for 40 years!

2026 marks forty years for Cornelia Arts. The building has been through many changes through the decades and today has a modernized interior, with more residents and studio spaces than ever before. You can read about some of the building’s interesting history on our about page.

See paintings, mixed media work, sculpture, ceramics, photography, printing, commercial design and more. A wide variety of media is represented in the building. We always enjoy having the building open to the public and hope you’ll stop by!

Directions

The Cornelia Arts Building is located two blocks south of Addison and one block west of Lincoln Avenue, near where Chicago’s Roscoe Village, Lakeview and North Center neighborhoods all intersect. The “L” Brown Line Addison and Paulina stops are steps away from the building; so are several bus stops along Addison. Parking is available in the building lot and on adjacent streets (no permit required). The entrance is along Ravenswood on the east side of the building.
