The space is used to showcase artists, musicians, performers and cultural workers from around the world. The C-PS hosts exhibitions, screenings, presentations, installations, festivals, meetings, and performance programs in its 5,000+ square foot gallery. Many of the organizers of the C-PS live above it on the second floor and you will find us curating and organizing shows as much as we mop up the floors.

The C-PS hosts the Lumpen Magazine office and the Public Media Institute; a non profit arts organization that helps produce the annual Version Festival and the Select Media Festival and the new art magazine, Proximity. The sphere also contains the Reuben Kincaid Project Room, a few artist studios, and an artist residency program.

Moving to the south side allowed us to realize our dreams of having a very flexible and large space to promote a diversity of interests that we hope showcases Chicago's various creative communitys as well as interesting work from around the world. Please join us at our myriad events and programs, stop by, grab a copy of Lumpen or Proximity magazines. Or walk on by and check out the latest window display by neighborhood artists and internationally reknowned troublemakers.
