Public Meeting for DePaul's Proposed New Basketball Training Facility
DePaul University is hosting a community meeting to discuss the school's updated proposal for a new basketball practice facility in Lincoln Park. This in-person meeting is on Monday, April 29, 6:30pm, Cortelyou Commons (2324 N Fremont). The University is asking all attendees to RSVP.
The meeting will be a full presentation by DePaul's administration of their updated plan followed by a Q&A session for the public. While the design of the facility has been tweaked since the last public meeting in November 2023, the proposal does still call for the demolition of orange-rated buildings. We look forward to an engaging conversation.
All are encouraged to attend. The meeting will not be streamed.
We are abiding by the University's security protocol and ask that you please do not bring large bags with you.
If you have any questions regarding the meeting, please contact us via email.

Lincoln Park Art Night
DePaul Art Museum, Leslie Wolfe Gallery, Madron Gallery, and Gallery 1871 reunite for the 2nd annual Lincoln Park Art Night. Four unique art locations have banded together to celebrate their Lincoln Park neighborhood and promote a destination for art lovers that is too-frequently overlooked. FREE luxury mini-buses will circulate the neighborhood offering hop-on/hop-off service for three hours on Thursday, November 2nd from 5:30-8:30 PM. Riders may start and stop at any of the four participating locations. Register today at http://bit.ly/LPAN2023 (registration is not required but appreciated).
Life Cycles at DePaul Art Museum highlights artworks from DPAM’s permanent collection, in conversation with other contemporary Chicago artists. Artists include Gertrude Abercrombie, Selva Aparicio, Andrea Carlson, Brendan Fernandes, Devin T. Mays, Ed Paschke, and many more.
Leslie Wolfe Gallery presents Triad. Three artists: Norman Baughter, Shel Howard Beugen, and Sandra Holubow; three dots on the map of Old Town; three friends, colleagues, and neighbors, each with a unique history that gives shape to their individual vision; three different perceptions manifested in their art.
Joseph Friebert: The Experimental Years at Madron Gallery showcases Joseph Friebert’s (1908–2002) journey into semi-abstraction, an in-depth look at the more than two decades where Friebert pushed himself in a new artistic direction, inspired by urban architecture and rural landscapes.
With The Resilience of Hope: New Work by Carrie Seid, gallery 1871 proudly presents the first solo show of Carrie Seid’s work in Chicago in over twenty years. The Chicago-bred, Tucson-based artist creates three-dimensional sculptures using translucent and reflective materials that merge color and form to create works that are mysterious and magical.
Participating venues would like to thank Michael Garzel Graphic design + Photography and Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce for their partnership and support.
