2023 Open Studio- During the Bronzeville Art District Art Tours

"Art is Business"

The Phantom Gallery Chicago has been closed to the public since 2020. During the 2023 Trolley Tours in the Bronzeville Art District, our guests expressed disappointment that the Open Studio was not open to the public as advertised. However, we contributed by hosting an outdoor popup experimental film series projected into the environment. Additionally, we had an installation on the 2nd floor common space where I featured my artwork that spanned three decades of various styles and series I had explored over the years.

CULTURAL STAKEHOLDERS IN THE BRONZEVILLE COMMUNITY COLLABORATE TO PRESENT FREE SUMMER PROGRAMMING 

CHICAGO  – Bronzeville is again a focal point for Chicago's vibrant African American culture. Like Harlem in New York, Bronzeville is a community where Chicago's African American music, Literature, Fine Art, and Theater historically thrive. The Bronzeville Art District (BAD) currently consists of five established visual art spaces working together to focus and drive cultural activities in the community so that a distinctive cultural identity can be crystallized and communicated.
