Document Gallery

Wicker Park, Bucktown & Ukrainian Village


Document organizes exhibitions of contemporary photography, film and media-based works by emerging national and international artists. It shares its large space with three other galleries – Western Exhibitions, P•L•HK and Volume Gallery – and its stretch of Chicago Ave holds quite a few more art showrooms to boot. Stroll from 1400 to 2300 W Chicago Ave for further gallery explorations.
