About the program
Kick off the weekend with a pre-party at Rebuild Foundation’s Stony Island Arts Bank. Originally a savings and loan, the space was restored by artist Theaster Gates and reopened in 2015 as a hybrid gallery, library, media archive, and community center dedicated to preserving Black culture and artistic expression. This fall, it is a featured site of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, hosting five installations by architects and designers from around the world.
Please note:
The pre-party is free and just a 5-minute drive or 15-minute walk from St. Laurence Elementary School, where the Deem Symposium begins at 7 PM.
