Izora Contemporary is a floating gallery and gathering space based in Chicago. An ever-evolving home for art, performance, and community, Izora Contemporary brings fine art exhibitions into unexpected places by collaborating with local businesses and venues. While our main focus is exceptional art and supporting the artists creating it, we love entertainment and interactive experiences. We believe curation goes beyond the art, and any creative elements to an exhibition should enhance the way viewers interact with the artwork.

What started as a want to support fine artists in the traditional sense (have a gallery, show artwork, repeat), has evolved into a need to celebrate artists loudly in a unique way. Each show is curated thoughtfully around the artists—their needs, their stories, their energy. Whether it’s with live music, dance, or fashion, we strive to create memorable experiences for both our artists and viewers.
