We are all equally artists – creativity has a place in everyone’s life, including yours.
A non-profit arts organization in Illinois, located in Evanston, OSP serves the entire Chicagoland area and far beyond. For more than 30 years, Open Studio Project has provided dynamic, award-winning arts programming in a welcoming atmosphere of supportive non-interference. We invite you to reconnect with your own creativity while making art alongside others.
Our mission is to bring art directly to individuals for personal growth, social-emotional learning, and community well-being.
Through professional development workshops, art classes, gallery exhibitions, and community outreach, we encourage you to explore art as an arena for reflection and creative play.
Visit Gallery 901
We proudly present exhibits of artists and groups that celebrate the power of the creative process and encourage positive social change.
Gallery 901, located at 901 Sherman Avenue, is a bright and intimate space that encourages both artist and visitor to engage with the pieces and start a discussion with the art itself. The shows rotate monthly and our receptions coincide with Evanston Made’s First Saturdays, making it easy for you to plan your visit.
Hours: Wednesdays | 10:00am-3:00pm | or by appointment
