In Pilsen, you’ll find plenty of art galleries, as well as creative spaces, so finding inspiration in that neighborhood shouldn’t be a problem. Wicker Park and Bucktown, thanks to their variety of theaters, live music venues, and gallery spaces, are both home to some of Chicago’s most beloved places where artists meet. The areas also offer plenty of photo studios, film studios, and unique event spaces ideal for all kinds of creative workshops.

This will vary depending on the type of space you want to rent. When it comes to photo and film studios, you will probably find lighting equipment and some backdrops. Workshop spaces should have some basic furniture on-site, such as chairs and tables. Some places may also offer a kitchen, break room, or a changing room. But to be extra sure of what comes with the venue of your choice, and, remember, it’s always best to ask the venue manager whether the space will suit the particulars of your event.

Unfortunately no. If you’re planning to cancel your reservation, you should let the venue know in advance so that they can free the slot. Even if you cancel a few hours in advance, chances that you’ll get a refund are very low, so simply think twice before you make the booking and try not to cancel your reservation! Always read the terms and conditions before signing the contract so you know what your options are.
