Chicago Grand Gallery was founded in 2023 in the Ukrainian Village. It is a modern, flexible art space that showcases contemporary art in many forms. The gallery features both emerging and established artists through solo and group exhibitions, performances, and film screenings.
The gallery’s adaptable design gives each exhibition its own unique atmosphere and character. Every show offers visitors a fresh experience, reflecting the evolving spirit of contemporary art in Chicago.
Open and inclusive, Chicago Grand Gallery aims to inspire creativity, connect people through art, and support Chicago’s growing cultural community.
Check our website for more details on upcoming events and exhibitions. We invite you to join us in celebrating the power of art to inspire, challenge, and bring people together.

This summer, our gallery is thrilled to launch Movie Club, a new monthly series dedicated to international, independent, and cult classic films.
Each month, our space transforms into an intimate screening room where art lovers and film fans alike gather to experience thoughtfully selected movies that spark conversation and connection. Screenings are followed by open discussions and opportunities to linger, reflect, and connect.
Membership is $15/month and supports the continuation of this program. All members are welcome to attend each screening, with snacks and drinks available for purchase with the option of BYOB. Proceeds from concessions are donated to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
We’re kicking things off with a film that blurs the line between painting and motion picture: Loving Vincent (2017), the world’s first fully hand-painted feature film. The story is told through an animation of 65,000 frames, all of which were hand-painted by over a hundred professional oil painters. Directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, this visually stunning work investigates the life and mysterious death of Vincent van Gogh through animated oil paintings in the artist’s own style.
Join us as we bring cinema into conversation with art—one film at a time.
