We had a blast with Silvia Inés Gonzalez and @courttheatre for our collaborative Books and Banners of the People workshop, a @hour.studio closed out the inaugural ACT WELL YOUR PART festival with a vivid, candle-lit reflection on a century of design for theatre at Hull-House.

Tobey Albright, Mollie Edgar, and Ashley King presented their rich and multifaceted design identi We're changing our hours! Starting June 7, we will be open on Saturdays, instead of Sundays. 

New open hours:

Tuesday - Friday: 10am-4:50pm
