Glenwood Avenue Arts District, in the heart of Rogers Park, features numerous artist studios, music venues, theatres and restaurants and is fast becoming known as a vibrant and unique arts destination. The Chicago Sun-Times writes, “Maybe the time has come to dub Glenwood Avenue in the Rogers Park neighborhood as Chicago’s answer to off-Broadway. Certainly that’s the conclusion to be reached if you tally up the nominations for the Non-Equity Jeff Awards” Chicago Magazine added, “For pure Chicago heart, soul and polished grit, the Glenwood Avenue Arts District in Rogers Park is our favorite new destination.”
