Looking to establish both temporary and permanent presence on Chicago’s West Side and Western Suburbs, Civic Projects developed a series of interactive structures for displaying art in collaboration with CVA Hub. Working closely with a team of preeminent artists, we designed two types of venues: a pop-up installation in storefront space and a modular prototype for installation in private spaces.

This modular, adaptable structure takes many forms to house several installations. These structures will inhabit private spaces throughout Oak Park and River Forest.
