So Long, Farewell, alvederzane…..

It’s been a fantastic run, thanks for all the support. Loft 3a, in it’s previous capacity, is no more. Thanks again, and best wishes to all!

Loft 3a is run by the crazy talented folks that live and have lived here.

☞ We use our 3000 square foot loft to host emerging and experimental creative endeavors in the form of concerts, gallery shows, fundraisers, temporary cafes, film screenings, workshops, and rehearsals.

☞ Loft 3a does not intend, in it's current capacity, to host or promote private parties not directly associated with current or former members of the space.

☞ We like to partner with visiting artists, small collectives, and other not-yet-institutionalized entities to serve as a physical platform in which to manifest their inspirations and create happenings.

☞ We work with projects that are underground, emerging, and/or transformative. Feel free to contact us with an idea.

Leon Grant Bussinger is mostly a digital designer. He started running the loft as an event space with creative director, Michael Hitsman in 2007. (originallgb.com)

Zoë McCloskey is mostly a street and installation artist who is associated with numerous artist collectives including The CyberPunk Apocalypse and Locurativo. (zoemccloskey.net)

Kelsey Fox is mostly a dancer with the Ballet of Chicago who paints in her free time and is stunningly unpredictable. (balletchicago.org)

Peter Eaton is mostly a student of film at Columbia and someone who always leaves the oven on.

Arren Yoshimura is a retired gymnast (the real kind not the hobbyist) who can still do back flips but now is, mostly, a nice person.

Anatole Puiseux is a charming econ and poli sci major from Paris on a six month internship in Chicago.
