Inside Town art collective is an artist-built and run space on the west side of Chicago.

But what does art collective actually mean, what defines it more than its physical space consisting of doors in walls?

For us at Inside Town, the simple answer is community.

Our community is a support system for those who dream, who have ideas, who respond to the world by using their gifts and passions to create.

We strive to provide a space for artists, art lovers, change makers, and anyone aware of how crucial art is to our environment. Art has historically empowered communities, provoked progress, and changed lives. If we can play a small part, we will try. And that’s why we are here today.

We’re thrilled at the opportunity to expand our list of resources by building one of the only publicly accessible photography darkrooms in Chicago.

We already have the space, A LOT of donated darkroom equipment, and the people power and passion to do the work, but we need to raise funds to cover some additional equipment, plumbing and infrastructure construction costs. That’s where you come in.

Please help us expand our art collective by donating towards our community darkroom, and then come develop some film with us!
