The Current Exhibit

Chief Curator Alice Gray Stites brings Truth or Dare: A Reality Show to 21c Chicago. Highlighting uncertainty and contradiction, the artworks featured in the exhibition emphasize the importance of questioning both knowledge and belief by utilizing illusion to entice, entertain, and explore the terrain between fact and fiction, presence and absence, reality and imagination.

The 21c Penguin

Our flock of penguins live across every 21c property, and set the tone for a stay that’s as much about art as it is hospitality. We like to think they inspire a sense of wonder, curiosity, and happiness…feel free to give the big ones a hug.
