Mission: Sector 2337 is a storefront gallery and bookstore opening this October at 2337 N Milwaukee Avenue. Functioning as Head Quarters for The Green Lantern Press, Sector 2337 hosts three exhibitions a year, maintains a vibrant schedule of public programs, as well as a niche on-line bookstore and an in-store bookshelf specializing in contemporary art, poetry, theory, and independent press titles. By marrying these threads — contemporary exhibitions, readings, performances, poetry, and printed matter — we continue the spirit of The Green Lantern Press, making community, culture, and discourse easily accessible to Chicago.

Our Selection of Printed Matter: Sector 2337 features a collection of artist books, poetry, art, theory, and independent press titles personally selected by one of our members, artists, residents, or readers. By providing these books in-house and on-line, we hope to offer additional literary and philosophical context to the physical experience of our gallery. We hearken after Printed Matter (New York), Castillo/Corrales (Paris), and Open Books (Seattle). Where those three bookstores intersect, you find us.

Space Rental: Our 1,800 sq foot space is available for small party rentals, with a maximum occupancy of 99 people. Located on Milwaukee Ave., a stone’s throw away from the California Blue Line Stop, with a clean, tin ceiling gallery space and small back yard, it is an ideal location for intimate gatherings. If you are interested in reserving this space for your event, visit our listing page on Peerspace for details.
