Celebrating 25 years in operation, the Cornelia Arts Building is one of the largest all-artist-studio buildings on Chicago's Northside and is a hub of creative practices. Over 45 local artists and artisans work in this former ice-house, including sculptors, painters, photographers, ceramic artists, print-makers, jewelry designers, textile artisans, and more.
