Homeroom supports and instigates new multidisciplinary collaborations, performances, and projects featuring Chicago artists.
Current Programs
Blank Box is a new and ongoing program by Homeroom to commission original multimedia work that is collaborative and performative, encouraging artists of multiple platforms and media to think, work, and create using structured improvisation.
Blank Box presents work by artists working in contemporary experimental time-based arts, including sound/music, video/projections, dance/movement, theater/lighting/scenery, puppetry/sculpture, and other performance-based and installation arts.

Started in 2009, Ten x Ten is a collaboration between visual artists and musicians exploring visual and auditory interaction. By challenging artists to conceptualize their work across media, Ten x Ten asks participants to stretch and expand their creative process.
The project results in an album featuring new musical works and a book of corresponding screen prints.
