Creative Studio Space

I had a terrible experience here for a number of reasons. The first being that the owner misrepresented the space on the internet. He makes it appear that you will have access to a kitchen space in the unit but this actually a part of a totally different and unconnected space.
The second issue was the shotty construction work that he was doing and that it was left undone on the day of my event. There were holes in the walls and dust on everything. it was dirty and unattractive. There is also a bar area on the side of the space that looks unsanitary and unusable. The manager of the space was not helpful at all and whenever I requested something be changed or taken care of he showed that he was obviously annoyed. I would never use this space again nor suggest it to anyone.

We recently rented the west studio space for my baby shower. The space was perfect for our gathering! The split rooms allowed us to have a place where people could sit, chat and relax while we used the back room as our designated food area with ample seating for more than 50 guests. Having a kitchenette was ideal since we opted to prep a couple things on-​stie. Brad and Amanda were awesome to work with!!! They were kind enough to let us swing by the night before the shower to drop off items to store in the fridge and some decorations. This made set-​up the day of a breeze. They also had the tables, chairs and display areas all set before we arrived. My friends loved the location as much as we did:). The studio added it’s own charm and character which was priceless. I look forward to hosting anther even there in the near future.

This must be one of the best studio spaces in Chicago. Reasonably priced, the owners are so nice, the space is gorgeous. I had a reading there and when I arrived, the table was already set up with a nice table cloth! Top notch service. Could not recommend this enough and look forward to working with Edward in the future

Creative Studio Space is beautiful! I have attended many events there. I saw the Cat Circus there twice!
There is also a very nice size lobby where tickets can be sold & merchandise can be set up.

This place is WONDERFUL for small events, performances, auditions, film nights, play readings, etc. The main room is very versatile and there’s all sorts of other rooms (storage, loft, lobby, coat room, bathroom, kitchen) that come with the space making it a truly unique and versatile venue. Best of all the rates are great, there are tables and chairs included in the rental and Edward (the guy who runs the space) is not only accommodating; he goes out of his way to help and make sure your event is fantastic. This place is perfect if you’re looking for a small venue for whatever it is you’re doing.

I recently needed a space to conduct an audition but was on a tight budget. After experiencing sticker shock while doing research into locations, I finally stumbled on this one. Although it was a tad off the beaten path (up on Belmont near California) the price was too good to pass up ($ 25/​hr) and the pics showed the place to be perfect for our needs.
As advertised, the place was just about perfect. Very clean, nice, well lit, attractive — brick walls, high ceilings. I think they have a screen you can put up for photos shoots but you’ll need to check. Bathroom, kitchen, sitting area, chairs, tables, studio area for shoots or auditions. One minor negative was the lack of a door at the end of a hall between the waiting room and studio space. Even though we couldn’t see the prospects, we could hear them.
As it turned out, the location wasn’t even an issue as it’s right of the Blue line and #77 bus. And Edward, the owner/​Manager (?) was very nice and made the process simple and headache free, important when your focus needs to be elsewhere.
Wish I had found this place earlier. Definitely a place to check out if you’re on a budget and need an impressive space for a photo shoot or audition. Looks like you could rent it to to teach a class in as well. Overall, great space.
