Group Trying to Restore Club as Place for the Arts

A new coalition has formed of people from the Friends of the Three Arts, people from the Gold Coast neighborhood, etc. We are trying to see if we can figure out a way to buy the Three Arts Club building, restore it, and turn it into a vital, internationally- important place for people in music, dance, theater, writing, film, painting, sculpture, etc.

Right now, we are searching for a major name/ major donor to back this plan and also to act as a leader for the future of this plan. We need someone that can put some major money into this, and this can be structured to suit that person. We also need someone with deep vision and interest in the arts and communication.

In the future, the Three Arts Club could be a place for women (or men and women) from all over the U.S. and all over the world to come and share in a community of others interested and active in music, theater, dance, comedy, film, video, painting, sculpture, writing (novels, poetry, journalism, songs, blogs, etc), internet, design, languages, culture, etc. The idea is that this group will be like a United Nations of the Arts, and also lots of fun. We hope to make the world a better place by sharing creativity and ideas with others from the whole world.

Able to help? Please email: threeartsfriends@gmail.com

  1. I recently visited Chicago and brought my 15 year old daughter to see my old stomping ground. I lived at the three arts club in the early 80's while attending The School of the Art Institute. I was shocked and saddened to see the vibrant place I remember now vacant. This is so wrong.

    I had the most wonderful experience with my fellow women at this very unusual place. I feel blessed for my experiences in Chicago, due in great part to the three arts.

    I went on on to live in Los Angeles and recieved my MFA in painting from UCLA. Now I'm a high school art teacher and parent of three children. Our young women need places like the three arts. We were all so inspired by each other. If I had money to add to the cause I certainly would. Good luck in obtaining an endowment. I would be happy to write another letter if needed.
