About this site

WELCOME!

The Flat Iron Project is an artists-run group created to revitalize the Flat Iron Arts Building Community in Wicker Park. Using the artists work as a vehicle to present original galleries and enhance the sense of the community, and to fulfill the need of an organizing entity to help artists have a presence.

The purpose of this group is to create the right enviroment to foster new and relevant opportunities for the resident artists and galleries of the Flat Iron Arts Building. Collaborating together, with local community businesses and other institutions we can develop projects and exhibitions dealing with important issues.
