Collaboraction announced today the company has relocated to a new home in the historic Flat Iron Arts Building , 1579 Milwaukee Ave., in the heart of Wicker Park. Today, Collaboraction also launches a revamped, multi-media website at collaboraction.org.
The Flat Iron Arts Building houses 48 galleries and Collaboration is thrilled to join its dynamic and creative community. Located on the 3rd floor, Collaboraction signed a 5-year lease on a space that will serve as a performance venue and offices.
"The stars aligned for us to acquire this unbelievable new home. To be in the heart of this vibrant community aligns perfectly with Collaboraction in terms of our mission, our aesthetic and our future. We look forward to becoming a prominent artistic mainstay in the neighborhood," shared Anthony Moseley, Executive Artistic Director of Collaboraction.
As the new resident theater company of the pulsating "six corners" intersection, Collaboraction plans to host a long-running, late night version of its SKETCHBOOK Festival in their new space, in addition to select season productions and events. The company will stage the 11th annual SKETCHBOOK Festival at the Chopin Theatre, June 18-July 3, 2011. Collaboraction looks forward to collaborating with fellow artists within the Flat Iron Arts Building. Large windows overlooking Milwaukee Ave. will be utilized to display video monitors to live stream performances.
