A Home for Culture & Creativity

In 2007, SRBCC acquired a 13,000-square-foot retail and office space in Chicago’s Hermosa neighborhood.

A Historic Venue with a New Purpose

Originally built in 1925, the space was once the Karlov Theater. Today, it houses:

A media center for creative youth

✅ A rehearsal space for professional artists

✅ A dance studio 
Two apartments for touring artists
A multipurpose theater for arts and performances

A Hub for Arts & Community

As part of a capital campaign, SRBCC revitalized the space to support performing and visual arts. The former theater now serves as a dynamic venue for:
🎭 Theater productions
🎨 Art installations
🎶 Live music events
📽 Video & photography projects
