Gorilla Announces the Creation of Our On-Site Art Gallery: Prime-8-Art-League

Chicago has long been a great home to artists of all kinds. And with the launch of our latest internal project, Gorilla hopes to make the Windy City even more artist friendly. Coming in 2012, Gorilla will be launching the Prime 8 Art League, an alternative gallery space for original artwork housed and operated within Gorilla’s Chicago office.

The inspiration behind the Prime 8 Art league is three-fold: to provide local and emerging artists with much needed exposure in an alternative gallery space, to offer working capital for these artists to continue their artistic pursuits, and, not insignificantly, to liven up the exposed brick walls that are a dominant theme at Gorilla HQ—a much anticipated development for both Gorilla employees and our clients.

The Prime 8 Art League is working with the local gallery community to define a process for curating applicants who will produce original artwork for the space. This will culminate in 2 exhibits per year, which will feature artwork created specifically for the space, and will include showings that will be open to the general public. Stay tuned for more details, including the launch of a dedicated gallery website and details on the artist submission process for our inaugural showing. Until then, keep creating Chicago.
