Vertical Gallery

# Vertical Gallery Vertical Gallery is a Chicago-based contemporary art space dedicated to urban-contemporary art, street art, graffiti, and pop-culture influenced work. The gallery occupies a distinctive position in Chicago's art scene by focusing specifically on art forms that emerged from street culture and urban environments, providing a professional exhibition space for styles that have historically existed outside traditional gallery contexts. For artists working in street art, graffiti, or pop-culture-influenced mediums, Vertical Gallery offers a venue that understands and values these art forms on their own terms. The gallery's focused curatorial direction means they're actively seeking work that engages with urban culture and contemporary visual language rather than trying to fit these styles into a broader contemporary art program. Art lovers visiting Vertical Gallery can expect to encounter work that reflects current urban visual culture, from pieces that reference graffiti's aesthetic traditions to art engaging with popular culture and contemporary street imagery. The gallery serves as an accessible entry point for those interested in understanding how street art and urban-contemporary work functions within a gallery setting, while offering experienced collectors a curated selection within this specific genre.
