Conceived with a profound vision to restore Epiphany as a gathering place, the historically significant Church of the Epiphany has undergone a meticulous transformation into an iconic cultural hub. Aptly named ‘For the Good of Art, Entertainment, and Events,’ this preserved masterpiece spans an impressive 42,000 square feet. The thoughtfully designed campus hosts three distinctive venues and a rich array of amenities, featuring art studios, classrooms, exhibition spaces, a commercial and catering kitchen, a café, a VIP suite, and a selection of artistically curated outdoor areas.

Among these outdoor spaces are a charming quarter-acre courtyard, a spacious terrace, and a breathtaking patio, enhancing the overall ambiance. The exemplary design reflects careful consideration for both aesthetics and functionality. The Church of the Epiphany is more than a venue; it is a multifaceted cultural space that transcends its historical roots to serve as a dynamic nexus for creativity and community engagement.

Epiphany’s commitment to diverse and inclusive art programming stands as a testament to its dedication to uniting the community and artists alike, embodying the spirit of ‘Bringing Chicago Together.’ This revitalized space not only preserves the rich heritage of the Church of the Epiphany but also propels it into a vibrant future, where it serves as a cornerstone for artistic expression and communal connection.
