The Opportunity Shop: Call for Artists
The Opportunity Shop is a transitory, experimental project space for contemporary art in Hyde Park. The current iteration is at the old Hollywood Video at 1530 E. 53rd Street. The OpShop bills itself as a place “where local, national and international artists come together to creatively facilitate conversation and community interaction in a dynamic art environment.”
Fire Escape members have shown their films there before. Check out the Call for Artists page if you’re interested.
Also, don’t miss out on an upcoming event at the OpShop, a live historical reenactment of Geraldo Rivera’s infamous televised search for Al Capone’s vault.
