LVL3 presents Direct Sunlight, a group show that serves as a way of resetting after this months-long interruption of opportunity and community among Chicago artists. When a farming season is finished, the land must be reset to prepare for the next one. Direct Sunlight is our way of tending the fields, which have been neglected for some time, and looking towards a generative future.

In an effort to support our local community impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, LVL3 invited Chicago-based artists to submit their work. 

Opening Weekend Hours:

Saturday, July 25th 1-6pm

Sunday, July 26th 1-5pm

To assist in social distancing and our new safety guidelines, please use the form linked here to sign up for a time to view Direct Sunlight during opening weekend hours.

Regular gallery hours Sundays 1-4pm, Thursdays 5-8pm, and by appointment. Email info@lvl3official.com or call/text 312-469-0333 to reserve a time.

*Please note there will be limited occupancy and masks must be worn to enter the gallery.
