City Gallery at the Historic Water Tower

Category: Gallery

The City Gallery is located in the historic Water Tower on Michigan Avenue. It presents exhibitions of Chicago-themed photographs by Chicago photographers. City Gallery is staffed by visitor representatives of the Chicago Office of Tourism and curated by the Chicago Public Art Program. The Water Tower was transformed into the city's official photography gallery in 1999. The inaugural exhibition, Skrebneski Photographs Chefs of Chicago, was a tribute to the quality and diversity of Chicago's culinary heritage. It featured photographs of fourteen Chicago chefs, who represent the hundreds of talented, award-winning chefs working in Chicago today. Exhibitions that followed include: Connecting: Chicago Fashion Photography; No Ketchup, Photographs of Chicago Hot Dog Stands; Photographs of the Chicago River and more.
