For Our Neighbors

text

Overlooking Lake Michigan to the east and the historic Water Tower to the west, the MCA is located in the heart of Streeterville. Nestled between two neighborhood parks—Seneca and Lake Shore—we are proud to be an asset to our local community, and we care deeply about being a good neighbor. Below is an overview of information and programs that benefit our neighbors.

NEW EXHIBITION ELEVATES CHICAGO VOICES

While the MCA’s building is temporarily closed to support the city of Chicago's efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, we invite you to access our digital offerings, including our featured exhibition The Long Dream. This major exhibition is inspired by the current moment and gives shape to issues heightened by the pandemic and social unrest, with many never-before-seen works by over 70 Chicago artists. For this exhibition, artwork labels are written in collaboration with youth groups and civic practitioners from around the city, honoring a multiplicity of perspectives from the community.
