Affordable Gallery Space with Full Kitchen

Art Gallery loft Wicker Park
party supplies during gallery open hours too which made set up easier. I did have to bring every event supply, which is a fair warning to know this makes your event planning feel DIY. However for the price of the huge space, it's absolutely worth it. The space does...
