Chicago's South Side is undergoing something of a mini arts
Renaissance. The over 60-year-old Hyde
Park Arts Center recently opened its expanded space, designed
by Garofalo
Architects. In nearby Kenwood, the Muntu
Dance Theatre is in the early stages of constructing its
new Performing Arts Center, designed by New York's David
Brody Bond. And right across the street from Muntu sits
the Little
Black Peark Art & Design Center. What's so great about
these South Side institutions -- apart from their proximity
to each other -- is their community focus, their ability to
function not only as places to see art but as places to learn
about and create art. |
