Amazing, such great art and full of talented artists. They do amazing things for the community. Their open houses and shows are inviting and fun. Its a huge space filled with so many different medium of art from portraits to installations you gotta stop in and check it out if you even think you might be missing some art in your life.
Visited here and enjoyed looking at the ceramic pieces for sale for the holiday sale. Wish I’d made it back in time to buy some, the sale is over mid December so plan accordingly. Some of the most reasonably priced pottery I’ve ever seen.
This art center is a jewel for the area. such fertile ground for all ages of artists to learn, exchange and display their creativity.
Visited the cafe. A nice, clean and airy atmosphere with good variety of pastries, sandwiches and beverages cold & hot. Friendly, helpful staff. I will visit again.
This museum is an amazing gem tucked away in Hyde Park. The various exhibits are amazing. The Art Center offers so much... classes in everything from photography to sewing. This is a great place for meetings, parties, and wedding receptions...or a first date! Do yourself a favor and stop by. It is open daily and admission is free. The coffee shop at the end of your tour is an added bonus.
A great place to go to do homework in your computer have a light snack or just look out the window and relax.
Love this place. They serve great coffee, and you can browse some really great art installations. In addition they have great childrens programs to help children get involved in the arts. Getting your hands messy is one thing, but creating subjective works of art that the world can enjoy (and isnt drywall inside your parents house) is a fabulous experience.
Best contemporary arts center in Chicago! Free to the public. Amazing out reach and opportunities for Chicago artists.
Wow what a treat! If you havent been yet..please go check it out. The exhibits are amazing and its all FREE to see! Its connected to Bridgeport coffee so treat yourself to that afterwards as well!
Flourishing of culture and expression
Wheelchair accessible. It is enriched with art of all different mediums. The programming and events that they have there are great!
Break out of your every day schedule and check out the great works and new pieces of creative artists RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD!!!Curator:JUAREZ HAWKINSHas some fantastic surprises in store for us!!
Nice place. Friendly people. Cool at. Brightly lit. Clean. Only problem I had, as a far West suburbanite was, parking in the city stinks. Give yourself some extra time, to find a spot. Or, take public transport.
Incredible programming and a great spot for art inspiration!
Ive been taking classes here for years and I know many of the students do! They always have some free exhibit going on. Great place to hang out, mingle, and learn.
Hyde Park Art Center has great classes and opportunity to use open studio space as well. There are also several community supported classes available as well if you are on a budget... but you have to ask about them because they are not advertised! I always feel welcome at HPAC. :)
Its an interesting place. Lots of artist, lots of places where one can create art.

A very nice experience attending this site.
Great Ceramic Studio with 2 large gas kilns and 2 electric kilns, plenty of potters wheels and glazes.
This space is always interesting, changing exhibitions on a regular basis, and their classes for seniors are engaging and free!
Its a relatively small museum / art center, but its nice! Its certainly worth a visit if youre in the area, and the attached cafe makes a good cup of coffee. If youre just looking to browse some art, I might not go out of my way from a faraway neighborhood, but they also offer classes/activities that I havent yet looked into.
Great place to see art from artist at all levels. Cafe with with really good coffee....located in one of Chicagos most diverse neighbors.
Nice center with classes artist studios a little coffee shop with sandwiches and galleries. It cool.

Great place to get coffee and a snack. I have had several dates here and a great combo to enjoy art and drink coffee.
We rented it for a private event. This space is generous in size, nicely laid out and wheelchair accessible.
The Hyde Park Art Center has an industrial design an features tons of unique art and creative arts classes. I took a knitting class there and while knitting isnt my forte, it turned out to be a great way to meet people in the area. It also has a cafe (Bridgeport Cafe) that is sort of overpriced in food, but their donuts are good.
Very nice and clean and friendly
It was very nice and

Take nice art classes in the historic Hyde Park neighborhood. Great place for local art and grab a bite at the adjacent Bridgeport Cafe.
Top notch art. Be sure to check out the stained glass dome
HPAC is totally worth the trip from Logan Square to the Hyde Park. Its one of the best places to see art in the city. They utilize the large meandering space really well and there are usually a few different exhibitions going on at one time. I love to explore the space, there are a few sweet hidden passages, weird corridors, a library and interesting shows grace the main space. Also, their halloween celebration is the best in the city!!
Great place with a lot of lessons you can take, and alot of great art
They have some of everything you would enjoy art, ceramics spoken word.
Warm and inviting atmosphere for all who enter their doors.
