ABOUT ‘BAC’

WE ARE CONNECTING CREATIVES

Bridgeport Art Center is a multi-disciplinary creative home for artists, designers, and professionals working across various art forms, media and vocations. An inspirational place to work, create, and share ideas with peers. This historic and visually breathtaking Chicago building defines raw urban elegance and features three curated Art Galleries, Artist Studios, the Fashion Design Center, Chicago Ceramic Center, the Skyline Loft and the Sculpture Garden Gallery event venues, and a multitude of unique businesses, small and large.

Everything was wonderful about our event at the Bridgeport Art Center. The space was amazing and Kate was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend this space. The view from the Skyline Loft is also amazing.

This venue is stunning, and your guests ride up in a giant vintage elevator with a chandelier that you can put a bar into. The architecture and wooden lofted feel is so beautiful that outside of some lighting and candles, you really don't need to do much in terms of production. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved Bridgeport Art Center! They helped ensure we had awesome vendors for our wedding day, and the space if gorgeous. We feel grateful that we got to spend our wedding in their sculpture garden, and we highly recommend them to anyone else!

In looking for a beautiful loft-space, Skyline Loft at Bridgeport Art Center was the perfect atmosphere and environment for our wedding!

We used the Skyline Loft at Bridgeport Art Center and it was such a unique venue to have for our wedding reception. The venue is in great condition, has amazing views of the city, encompassed a warehouse style and has unique characteristics like their freight elevator that takes guests up to the Skyline Loft and you can have a bar on it. Would highly recommend.
