The Old Town Triangle Events Committee is proud to offer a private tour of this unique exhibition. Join us on July 9, 2025 at 5:30 for a private tour.

This event is free for members and there will be a $15 charge for nonmembers who wish to attend.
It is unprecedented with more than 300 works by more than 125 artists from 40 countries, on loan from over 100 museums and private collections across the world, including the Musée d’ Orsay, The Tate, The Courtauld, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Kunsthaus Zürich, National Museum of Denmark, Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Pinacoteca de São Paulo, Museo Gregorio Prieto, and the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, among others. A number of works are national treasures which have never before been allowed to travel outside their countries.
Thanks to State of Illinois Grants from our local State Legislators, Senator Sara Feigenholtz and Representative Margaret Croke, renovations to the Old Town Triangle Center are finally able to take shape. The Old Town Triangle Association has budgeted reserve funds to add to the grants already approved. But it is an old building and everyone knows that there are always unexpected situations that arise.
This effort began by removing all of the flooring, due to a layer of mastic adhering a lower layer of tiles. The building is now sporting a new leveled floor, not the final but the underlayer. Activities have resumed in the south room but the Gallery and offices are closed for the foreseeable future. The Office is temporarily housed at 1714 N Wells Street. And you are always welcome to visit.
We hope that you will consider making a donation to the Capital Campaign if you are planning to make charitable donations this year. This is the first major renovation of our building space and it is not likely t occur again for many years. We are making every effort to create a timeless design with more useful spaces for the entire community to enjoy.
There are many levels and options available. Please send an email to info@oldtowntriangle.com to schedule a time to discuss how we might work together. Any and all funding levels will be appreciated.

The hanging window planters were becoming too difficult to maintain and they were limited to a season. The need to brighten our outdoor space remains. Four new, large planters will help fill the void and provide natural beauty to our setting. These large planters require a great deal more planting resources. Help us create a welcoming adornment for our building by making a donation here!
