ABOUT US
The Chicago Urban Art Society was founded by two originators of 32nd&urban:gallery/space formerly located on
the south side of Chicago in the community of Bridgeport. Urban, established in 2006 by Monica Lee, Lauren
Pacheco, Pedro Soto and Peter K featured urban contemporary art by emerging and established artists. It's
successful tenure featured artists such as Juan Angel Chavez, Mike Genovese, Chris Silva, Jeff Zimmerman,
Marco Raya, Doug Fogelson, Ray CRO Noland, Jon Lowenstein, Carlos J. Ortiz, Maria Gaspar among others.
32nd&urban closed it's doors in December 2008 at it's 3201 South Halsted Street gallery location. Urban looked to
transform itself into a not-for-profit entity whereby continuing it's efforts in promoting fresh and innovative art.
Looking for new ways to support the Chicago urban art movement, the formation of the Chicago Urban Art Society
hopes to serve as a platform and vehicle in doing so.
