Vertical Gallery 12-Year Anniversary Group Show


Vertical Gallery, Chicago’s premier urban-contemporary art gallery, is very proud to present our 12-Year Anniversary Show, an all-star exhibit celebrating our first dozen years at the vanguard of street art, pop surrealism, graffiti and beyond.

Vertical’s 12-Year Anniversary Show, on display from April 4-26, brings together longtime collector favorites and promising new talents from across the city, across the nation and across the globe, showcasing the consistency and diversity that have remained hallmarks of Vertical’s monthly programming efforts since the gallery opened for business in April 2013. The festivities kick off Friday, April 4 with an opening reception from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at our flagship West Town location (2006 W. Chicago Ave. #1R; enter via the alley off Damen Avenue).

“Time flies when you’re having fun!” says Vertical owner and curator Patrick Hull. “When I left my corporate job in San Francisco and moved to Chicago to open Vertical, I was hoping that other collectors would love the same type of art that I love. Twelve years later, with more than 130 exhibitions under my belt, it’s clear I made the right decision. Please join us on April 4 to celebrate this milestone!”

Featured artists: Arne Spangereid (NO), Jonlouis Gonzalez (US), Martin Whatson (NO), CABNOV (PH), Matthew Shutt (UK), Hama Woods (NO), Grant William Thye (US), 2CHOEY (TH), Ian Inoy (PH), Maks Simone (US), Daniel Sueiras Fanjul (ES), Liz Flores (US), Twopy (FR), Jerome Tiunayan (US), TOPO (ES), Alex Krueger (Crop) (US), Marcelo Suaznabar (BO), Glass Cuisine (US), Lucy Sparrow (UK), Pure Evil (UK), Collin van der Sluijs (NL), Laura Catherwood (US)

“It is very humbling to see my passion for art turn into a gallery with such loyal support,” Hull says. “Thanks to all the artists that have trusted in us, and to all the collectors that believe in the art we feature. Even after 12 years, I still find myself learning so much from the people around me each day.”
