Third City Studio connects artists, residents, and supporters to build a vibrant, inclusive arts ecosystem on Chicago’s West Side. Through exhibitions, professional development for artists, educational programming, and creative spaces, we develop and expand opportunities to create, learn, and engage—while fostering partnerships that sustain artists and advance Chicago’s cultural and economic vitality.

We envision a thriving Austin neighborhood where Third City Studio anchors a creative hub that fuels economic prosperity, strengthens community connection, and enriches Chicago’s arts landscape.

Our gallery space, Third City Gallery, is located at 5538 W. North Avenue in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. Designed by and for artists in a way to inspire creativity and to allow for many uses: art studio, exhibition, art classroom, and event space.
