Open Secret Studios

01/06/2018

OPEN SECRET STUDIOS IS CLOSED. THANKS FOR ALL WHO CAME AND MADE OSS A BRIEF BUT BRILLIANT CULTURAL INSTITUTION. IT WAS A WONDERFUL FOUR YEAR PROJECT WHERE IT WAS A HUB FOR SUPPORTING ART, CULTURE AND HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS. I RAN IT ON MY OWN AND AM GLAD FOR THAT HOWEVER IT NOW EXSITS AS A CORPORATE SPACE FOR FIELD NOTES... THERE IS NO LONGER A PROJECTION AND PHOTOGRAPHY WALL, MOST OF THE COMPANY'S WORK DESKS ARE PLACED UP ON THE MEZZANINE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE SPACE AS A PUBLIC VENUE IS OVER. IT WAS A PROJECT LIKE NO OTHER AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

To whom this may concern,
Open Secret Studios is closed. there is no photo wall in the existing space it is being used for a corporate office. There are no more public events being held there.

Take one stirring yet ludicrous 1981 Journey song, "Don't Stop Believin'." Add 11 superb dancers, 2 adorable apprentices and 12 choreographers from Chicago's top companies, places like Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, River North Dance, Lucky Plush. Mix, but don't overmix. Variety and odd juxtaposition…
