The Little Studio is a community rental space on the seventh floor (732) of the historic Fine Arts Building. It’s the ideal space for small companies or individual presenters needing a flexible room to staged readings, rehearsals, open mics, auditions, classes, comedy performances, and more.

Taking its name from the history of “little” groups throughout the Fine Arts Building’s history — including the weekly artists’ gathering, the Little Room; the avant-garde literary magazine, the Little Review; and the revolutionary theatre that launched Chicago’s storefront movement, the Chicago Little Theatre — the Little Studio is a multidisciplinary gathering space for experimentation and collaboration.

The Little Studio is available for licensing on a half-day (4 hour), full-day (8 hour), and weekly basis.
