The image depicts a well-lit interior space, likely an art gallery, featuring natural wood floors and large framed windows that offer a view of an adjacent building. The left wall displays a collection of small art pieces and photographs arranged in a loose grid, with various shades of blue, grey, and beige. A single light bulb hangs from the ceiling, illuminating the room. Near the windows, a stack of brown chairs sits next to a yellow potted plant which is sitting in the window frame. A short, but long black radiator runs along the bottom of the windows. A white quilt with a geometric blue and red pattern lies on the floor, adding to the room's minimalist and organized aesthetic.

Chicago’s 3Arts offers four local artist residencies for Deaf and disabled artists in partnership with Bodies of Work. These customized residencies are centered on professional development, the creation of new work, and advocating for disability arts, culture, and aesthetics on and off campus.

Learn about our current and past artists in residence by visiting the 3Arts website.
