Compound Yellow — Local services in Oak Park

Discover the alternative, independent and experimental world of artist-run initiatives at Compound Yellow - a contemporary art gallery located in the center of historic Oak Park.

The gallery offers the work of a diverse group of talented 2D and 3D Chicago area artists working in a variety of mediums such as acrylic, oil, photography, mixed media, wood, ceramics, and performing arts: poetry, jazz, folk, acoustic, EDM and more. The bright and inviting yellow gallery is a combined commercial and residential space with an art gallery and intimate event space featuring high ceiling and operates over two levels.

It's very engaging and entertaining.
