We are celebrating an incredible 25 years at Heaven Gallery, the longest-standing art gallery in Wicker Park! This is a beloved tradition of bringing together art, culture, commerce, and community. The 90s were a vibrant arts era that was the genesis of Heaven Gallery – beginning as an experimental DIY space, cementing itself as a Chicago arts institution, and reaching its ultimate destiny of challenging the status quo of extracted development in art neighborhoods.

As many of you know, we are working to continue this legacy through the purchase and redevelopment of our building. This project, Equity Arts, would create a cultural flagship to serve artists and entrepreneurs for generations to come.

Heaven Gallery will be hosting its annual benefit on Friday, October 17th, to raise money for this important endeavor. It will feature cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and an artfully curated three-course sit-down dinner. Peruse artwork by local Chicago artists in a silent art auction. Then join us for a house music afterparty on the dance floor.
