About Escape Artistry - Time Gallery
The Classroom was designed by Chicago film and theatermakers to mimic a Midwestern classroom in 1954. Utilize this retro space for your next film, music video, or photoshoot to give your content a nostalgic edge!
Located in Wicker Park, this unique space has a neighborhood to match. The Classroom is within walking distance of Wicker Park's best restaurants, bars, cafes, and the Damen and Division Blue Line trains.
The Classroom is available weekdays. Weekend bookings are available on special request. Two hour booking minimum, $95/hr.
By renting our facility, guests acknowledge that they are using a public space at their own risk, and take full responsibility for their personal health.

Bloom and Gather Photography
Photography
From $500/package
Hi there! I'm Becky with Bloom and Gather Photography. I specialize in freezing time during the most fleeting seasons of life - weddings, newborns, and the "little years" with your kids. I am a firm believer that wedding days should come with a photographer that takes stress off your plate rather than adding to it, that family and portrait sessions should be fun - not stressful, and that newborn sessions should be beautiful and safe! I promise you that you will only here me say “cheese” during your family’s session if your kids just asked me what my favorite food is. You also won’t see me get frustrated or impatient with your newborn who may not want to immediately settle for me. That’s so normal, and completely okay. If anything, it’s to be expected!
As a mom, I understand that kids (and babies) need to have the space to be themselves in order to get the best shot. I want you to look back at these photos for years to come and immediately think back to how much fun you had - not how stressed you were. So take a deep breath, relax, and let’s have some fun capturing your memories!Read more

Ricky Kluge Photography
Photography
From $500/package
Hi — I’m a Chicago-based commercial photographer and director focused on lifestyle, athletic, and brand-driven imagery. My work centers around people. I’m drawn to creating visuals that feel natural, grounded, and real, while still holding a clean, intentional look that fits modern campaigns and advertising. I approach shoots with a balance of structure and flexibility. Whether working with a full production team or a smaller setup, the goal is always the same: keep things efficient, collaborative, and focused on getting strong, usable results without overcomplicating the process. Over the years, I’ve worked with brands and agencies on a range of projects, from campaign imagery to branded content. The through line is always the same — making work that feels authentic, but still elevated enough to stand out. Based in Chicago and working throughout the Midwest & beyond —Read more
