About The Opportunity Shop

The Opportunity Shop is a transitory, experimental project space for contemporary art in Hyde Park.

The Op Shop is dedicated to creating alternative sites of exchange around art in vacant urban spaces. Come be a part of its third iteration at 5226 S. Harper Ave., Hyde Park, where local, national and international artists come together to creatively facilitate conversation and community interaction in a dynamic art environment.

This storefront space, made available by The University of Chicago, offers a chance to create innovative encounters between artists and audiences, and new ways of connecting art to urban change.

You can become a member of The Op Shop group on facebook for additional information and occasional updates.
