About this Event

Take a guided tour of the restored Stony Island Arts Bank, one of artist Theaster Gates's most notable building projects. New architecture and design installations will be on view as part of the Chicago Architecture Biennial. This program is co-presented by the and .

Designed by William Gibbons Uffendell and built in 1923, the bank at 68th and Stony Island was once a vibrant community savings and loan. Today, the restored Stony Island Arts Bank provides the South Side of Chicago with 17,000 square feet of space for innovation in contemporary art and archival practice. The project came out of the Rebuild Foundation, "a nonprofit organization that endeavors to rebuild the cultural foundations of underinvested neighborhoods and incite movements of community revitalization that are culture based, artist led, and neighborhood driven," started by Theaster Gates in 2010.
