March 1, 2023: We are happy to announce our move to a new temporary office space at 1732 W. Hubbard Street, Suite 1A, opening to the public on March 1, 2023. Located kitty-corner to our upcoming permanent space at the corner of Hubbard and Wood, this expansive viewing room / meeting space will allow us to work hand-in-hand with our artists, architects and construction crews as together we realize the buildout of our exciting new vision across the street.
During this transitional \"countdown\" period, we will be keeping our standard gallery hours (T-F 10:30-6, Sat 11-5) and will welcome visitors.

Carrie Secrist Gallery, established in 1992, features contemporary artwork by emerging, mid-career and established artists who work in a variety of mediums. This year marks the gallery’s 30th anniversary.
Represented artists include: Whitney Bedford, Stephen Eichhorn, Shannon Finley, Diana Guerrero-Maciá, Andrew Holmquist, Anne Lindberg, Liliana Porter, Michael Robinson and Dannielle Tegeder.
From Fall 2022: After two years of interruption, transition and reevaluation within all art communities, we are thrilled to announce that Carrie Secrist Gallery has discovered and committed to its new home in West Town – the city’s preeminent gallery district. Located at the corner of Wood and Hubbard Streets, this bow-truss, skylit space is a 10,000 sq. ft. arena featuring an expanded approach to contemporary exhibition experiences.
Our reinvigorated programming will present solo artist exhibitions alongside curated surveys by like-minded creators who will elaborate the dialogue around related topics. Additional programming includes panel discussions, lectures, curatorial invitationals and other events. We intend to ring in CSG’s 30th Year by offering our revitalized mission as a gift to engage our art community locally and at large.

In 2016, Amy Krouse Rosenthal (AKR) envisioned a different kind of beauty salon: a forum where artists, authors, musicians, and others would convene to talk about and work on the beautiful things they were making. These events aim to evoke the spirit of this salon by bringing together family, friends, and former collaborators to make a new beautiful something together.
\r\n\r\nOn August 9th of last year, AKR hosted a 12-hour book launch for her memoir, Textbook Amy Krouse Rosenthal (Dutton), at the Bean in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Mayor Rahm Emmanuel decreed that August 9th would henceforth be known as “Amy Krouse Rosenthal Day” in Chicago, citing AKR’s “steadfast commitment to literature, film, and our city.” On this, the first AKR Day since her passing, we celebrate those gifts she gave to her community by gathering, remembering, and creating.
\r\n\r\nAll of AKR’s work had a profound simplicity to it. Whether it was her children’s books, adult books, visual art, happenings, musical events, videos, radio segments, or performances, she made the ordinary into something extraordinary. Her focus on the magic in seemingly small, mundane things cultivated a sense of community and universality. AKR: A Beauty Salon is an amalgam of experiences designed to encourage visitors to experience and participate in the generous creative energy that AKR represented and offered.
\r\n\r\nParticipants for Amy Day 8/09 include:
\r\n\r\nKATIE FROELICH is a yoga instructor and sister of AKR
\r\nDAVID T. JONES is the Chief Creative Officer of Third Street, a Chicago and Indianapolis-based advertising firm
\r\nTOM LICHTENHELD is a children’s book illustrator and AKR collaborator whose work includes Duck! Rabbit! (Chronicle Books, 2009)
\r\nNICK GAGE is a Chicago-based singer/songwriter. He is known for writing the music for Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s Beckoning of Lovely
\r\nRUBY WESTERN is a performance artist, comedian and the guest curator of AKR: A Beauty Salon
Amy Krouse Rosenthal (b. 1965, Chicago – d. 2017, Chicago) was a person who liked to make things. She wrote both adult and children’s books, created tiny films, and worked with TED and NPR as a collaborator and speaker. Rosenthal graduated from Tufts University and built a career in advertising before she published her first children’s book, Little Pea, in 2005. Over the next 12 years, she wrote more than 30 children’s books including I Wish You More, Uni the Unicorn, Duck! Rabbit!, Exclamation Mark, and many other New York Times bestsellers. She penned groundbreaking memoirs including Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life and Textbook Amy Krouse Rosenthal. Her best-known film project is The Beckoning of Lovely.
\r\n\r\nIn February 2017, Amy wrote an essay entitled “You May Want to Marry My Husband,” which was published in The New York Times. Within one week, it had been read by over four million people and featured on many national news outlets. She and her husband Jason raised their three children on a tree-lined street in Chicago.
