Happy 50th Birthday, ARC Gallery!

ARC Gallery Celebrates 50 Years! ARC’s longevity and unique Chicago impact over these 50 years has always depended on the unfailing support from a multitude of talented artists and dedicated patrons.

As we celebrate this milestone, we want to express our gratitude to all of our supporters who have contributed to ARC's mission.

We are reaching out to friends who believe in ARC's mission, and want to help us continue for the next 50 years. $50 for 50 Years and 50 More!

We ask all those who support emerging artists, women artists, diverse artists or small impactful galleries, to consider joining us by donating a 50th birthday gift. Will you contribute $50 for 50 Years and 50 More? We are more than halfway to our $10,000 goal.

About ARC: ARC (Artists Residents of Chicago) Gallery is proud of its status as the only surviving not-for-profit women’s cooperative gallery in the Midwest.

• Bringing a feminist perspective to the management of a contemporary art gallery
