Peter Jones Gallery

Peter Jones Gallery is a sweet little spot to rent for a show or a party.
Last week I attended the final showing of RAW, a set of short scenes by WNEP’s Write Club which was in a small theatre set toward the back. There is plenty of gallery space to display sculpture and wall pieces, a bar for BYOB events, a table for food, and a little hang-​out area with couches and chairs amidst tons of trees and plants with plenty of light coming in from the Cuyler side.
This weekend I found myself at Peter Jones Gallery again for the Chicago Artist Coalition’s Paint-​a-​thon, a live painting exhibit and auction. Again, a perfect space for people to make art, observe art, and eat and drink.
I’ve heard that sometimes the spaces get double booked, so if you’re going to book an event here, make sure that both the theatre and gallery are free, or if you’re only reserving one, be aware that it may not be completely private.
