Roscoe Village residents have a unique opportunity to find one-of-a-kind holiday gifts while supporting local artists at the upcoming Cornelia Arts Building December Open Studios event. Taking place in early December, this free community celebration will feature over 40 participating artists across two full floors of working art studios in one of Chicago's largest artist communities.

Visitors can explore the historic building, mingle with local artists, and discover unique handcrafted items perfect for holiday gifting. The event is completely free and open to the public, making it an accessible cultural experience for everyone in the neighborhood. Established in 1986, the Cornelia Arts Building stands as one of the largest all-artist studio buildings on Chicago's north side, sitting at the intersection where Lakeview, Roscoe Village, and Ravenswood/North Center meet. As the final building-wide event of 2025, this December celebration offers a special opportunity for neighborhood residents to connect with the local arts community before year's end.
