REVERSIBLE EYE is a volunteer-run interdisciplinary arts space in Humboldt Park. We have a strong commitment to bringing diverse cultural expressions together into our gallery space. We are interested in experimental art and performance, outsider art, art from our local latin and African-american communities, and folk art from around the world.

We are very proud of our affiliations with the following local community groups and projects:

Arts of Life - non-profit arts studio that provides adults with developmental disabilities an environment to explore and enrich their lives.

Friends of the Puerto Rican Cultural Center – Humboldt Park neighborhood association formed for the purpose of engendering dialogue between communities and working to prevent displacement of the local Puerto Rican population

    Catch 'acro-cats' and art-rock at Reversible Eye Arts Space
    You'll find few places in Chicago that offer stage space to 11 domestic cats, but Reversible Eye isn't your typical venue. In addition to repeatedly hosting The Amazing Acro-cats, whose talents include tight-rope-walking and piano-playing, the gallery invites a bevy of post-punk, art-rock, avant-garde jazz and eccentric folk bands to perform every Friday or Saturday night. Fork over a $5 suggested donation, and you can generally expect to see three bands and an occasional performance art interlude. The recent roster has included the gypsy-style Black Bear Combo and avant-garde folk group Spires That in the Sunset Rise. This fall you can count on seeing several hip-hop and punk bands performing in conjunction with an exhibition examining the intersection of punk and hip-hop culture. - Jessica Herman
