Logan Square's vibrant arts scene continues to flourish with the Kimball Arts Center's announcement of their Winter 2026 Artists in Residence program, returning for its third year in partnership with ILA Creative Studio. The exhibition, featuring the works of talented artists Gabi Bozeman, Harlem West, and Zakia Rowlett, will be displayed in the public hallways of the Center from February through April 2026.

Selected through ILA's resource platform BLACC, these emerging artists will gain valuable space and support to develop their creative practices, acquire new skills, and forge connections within Logan Square's thriving creative community. The program emphasizes visibility, sustainability, and connection for participating artists, with their works available for exhibition and purchase throughout the residency period. "Supporting and collecting from artists is a Good Look," notes the Kimball Arts Center, which serves as home to over 40 independent creative businesses and artists serving the Chicago community.

Logan Square residents and art enthusiasts are invited to meet the artists at an upcoming reception featuring treats and refreshments. This celebration of local talent offers a perfect opportunity for community members to engage with neighborhood artists while exploring one of Logan Square's most dynamic creative hubs.
