New Location Opening February 2026
Volume Gallery is pleased to announce its forthcoming move to a new, more expansive and distinctive, location at 1700 W Hubbard Street, opening February 2026 with a landmark group exhibition, The Heresy of Legacy, exploring the cyclical nature of currents in art, architecture, and design, how acts of rebellion and refusal have continually propelled cultural production forward. Celebrating fifteen years of the gallery’s operations, including almost ten at its Chicago Avenue location, Volume Gallery’s move marks a significant new chapter in the program’s evolution. The expanded location will provide additional gallery space designed to foster the development of new ideas and methodologies by both established and emerging artists. More about the gallery's new space and forthcoming exhibitions here.
Established in 2010, Volume Gallery focuses on material-driven practices across disciplines with a concentration on contemporary and historical American art and design. There is a commitment to finding meaning in materiality and a dedication to advancing innovative makers of the present and recent past. In addition to its exhibitions program, Volume Gallery releases editions, publications, and engages in site-specific commissions that showcase the work of American artists and designers to regional, national, and international audiences.

Named for a series of utopian letters initiated by Bruno Taut in 1919, in which a small group of like-minded architects and artists, unfettered by the demands of practicability, exchanged ideas on what form the architecture of the future should take. The exhibition celebrates Volume Gallery's 15 years of collaboration, showcasing the innovative practices of the celebrated artists we’ve been privileged to work with, fresh perspectives that continue to push the boundaries of art and design.
