Chicago arts scene it-man Theaster Gates, in conjunction with U of C, is opening the Arts Incubator at Garfield and Prairie (by the Garfield Green Line) this afternoon. A bit behind schedule, the Washington Park initiative serves the community with 10,000 square feet of studio space for artists-in-residence, a woodshop, and exhibition and event spaces. Wanna catch an early glimpse? Take the virtual mid-construction tour or, better yet, dash to the site between 3-6pm for live tours and performances. It's free! [UChicago Arts, previously]
