About 345 Art Gallery: 345 Art Gallery sits in East Garfield Park, right in the middle of one of the West Side’s most active and creative art communities. The space was designed with art at the center of everything—from creating it to sharing it with the public. Inside the gallery, artists, Chicago Public School students, and community members have a place to work, learn, and showcase their talent. The gallery proudly highlights many forms of artistic expression, including classic graffiti art and striking murals created by world-renowned artists, reflecting the culture, creativity, and history of Chicago’s West Side.

The vision for 345 Art Gallery was guided by two simple goals: to create a beautiful space where art can be made and celebrated, and to offer an inviting, multi-purpose venue for private events and community gatherings. The property also features a stunning outdoor art garden that serves as an extension of the gallery—an open space where art, culture, and community come together. Founded by Corry Williams, an art lover and a man deeply committed to serving his community, the gallery has hosted hundreds of programs, exhibitions, and events that continue to support and recognize artists across Chicago’s West Side.
