Public Functionary is on winter break through Jan 20, 2025. We will re-open in late Jan with events in collaboration with The Great Northern.
ACCESS INFO:
Stair access to all studios is available at the main 1500 Jackson entrance and the Van Buren entrance. Main Gallery and PF Cafe can be found at “Door C” off the main loading dock, with a few steps up.
Step-free access via an ADA ramp on the northern side of the main building leading to the double doors marked Dock 6. Once inside turn left by the passenger elevator and proceed through hallways to Studio #144 (main PF Gallery + Cafe). There is a ramp into the gallery. Use the passenger elevator inside Dock 6 to access PF Studios on different floors and PF Upstairs Gallery in #247.
PF is located across 7 separate studio spaces in the Northrup King Building. These spaces create an exhibition, performance, studio, and community cultural hub.
