Coming Soon: IPMM Gallery @ Green Exchange

Words by Evan La Ruffa

The IPMM Team is pleased to announce that we will soon be moving into a gallery space at the Green Exchange building at 2545 W Diversey, Suite 228 in Logan Square! This is a huge step for us and we have plenty of great events and programming to announce soon. We’ll be posting photos as we work on preparing the space and getting it ready to share with all of you. We look forward to growing as a local presence and contributing our curation, aesthetic, and mission to the already fantastic environment being created at the Green Exchange.

Our gallery space will be on the 2nd floor in Suite 228, just to your left as you reach the top of the escalator. Gallery hours will be announced soon, as will plans for our grand opening. We must issue a massive thanks to David Baum of Baum Development for being so supportive of IPMM at such an exciting time in our organization’s growth.

Here are some preview pics of the unfinished space!
