Exhibitions
ACRE offers each of its 70+ summer residents an opportunity to present new work. ACRE’s 400 sq ft storefront gallery space, ACRE Projects, is located in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago and hosts monthly exhibitions. ACRE is now working with emerging curators to mount shows featuring artists who attended the 2012 residency. Each has planned a three month season of thematically-arranged duo and group shows, and will be working closely with the residents they have selected to present considered, cohesive exhibitions. ACRE’s 2012-13 volunteer curatorial board members are Kate Bowen, Alicia Eler, Pat Elifritz and Anthony Stepter.
ACRE also partners with several prominent alternative exhibition spaces in Chicago, each of whom select around four ACRE artists to work with over the course of the year. In 2013, ACRE has partnered with Co-Prosperity Sphere, The Happy Collaborationists, Heaven Gallery, The Hills Esthetic Center, Johalla Projects, LVL3, Manifold, THE MISSION, Plaines Projects, Roxaboxen, and Slow Gallery.
ACRE Projects (1913 W 17th Street) hosts opening receptions on Sunday evenings, 4-8pm. Exhibitions are typically open for viewing on Sundays and Mondays from noon-4pm.
