About Cornelia Arts Building
Free open studio events are a central offering at the Cornelia Arts Building, where visitors can view work by local artists. Established in 1986, this Chicago arts building houses dozens of work studios for fine and commercial artists, including painters, photographers, sculptors, designers, and writers. Located on Ravenswood near Cornelia and Lincoln Avenues, it also hosts individual and group art shows throughout the year. The building includes lobby galleries for guest artist exhibits during open studio events, as well as studio rental opportunities. Built in 1910 as an ice storage facility, the property was converted to artist loft spaces in 1986 and underwent a multi-year renovation beginning in 2019.
